We report a case of infective dermatitis associated with human T lymphocyte virus type 1 in a South African child with associated stunting, anaemia and chronic lung disease. human T lymphocyte virus type 1 should always be considered in a patient with unexplained recurrent dermatitis. Chronic lung disease is a rare association.
