Recurrent neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis in an HIV-1-infected patient.
Most cases of neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis (NEH) have been reported in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia or other malignant diseases. We report the case of an HIV-1-infected patient who presented several and strikingly similar episodes of NEH without any medication as well as another one after the first course of chemotherapy for a B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case strengthens the hypothesis that NEH may occur in different situations, as reported for other neutrophilic dermatoses.
