title: Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
abstract: Three patients with AIDS had an intensely pruritic eosinophilic pustular folliculitis associated with abundant Pityrosporum yeasts in the follicles, demonstrated by direct microscopy. The excellent response to ketoconazole treatment suggests a possible pathogenic role for Pityrosporum.
