Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis following autologous peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation.
We describe a case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) occurring after autologous peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and successfully treated with oral and topical indomethacin. Including ours, the reported cases of EPF with HIV-negative hematological disease have shown clinical features similar to those of HIV-associated EPF, however the prognosis is better than that for HIV-associated EPF, which usually shows a persistent course. EPF with HIV-negative hematological disease can be classified as a unique group in EPF.
