title: Disseminated cryptococcosis presenting as pseudofolliculitis in an AIDS patient.
abstract: We report the case of a 42-year-old man with AIDS and an unusual presentation of disseminated cutaneous cryptococcosis. The eruption was characterized by excoriated papules of the upper body and was initially diagnosed as folliculitis. A pseudofollicular eruption is a rare presentation for disseminated cryptococcosis.
