Unusual skin pigmentation in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
Diffuse addisonian hyperpigmentation in a male patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome related complex (ARC) is described. The etiology of pigmentation in this patient remains obscure but is most probably related to the H.I.V. infection. Other causes of addisonian hyperpigmentation are considered less likely.
