[Photosensitive prurigo in AIDS].
INTRODUCTION: A case of photosensitive prurigo during AIDs is reported. This is the second case in the literature. We discuss the relations between HIV infection and photodermatoses. OBSERVATIONS: A woman, known to be HIV seropositive from 1990, developed during the spring 1990 a prurigo on light exposed areas who received the next year. A photobiological investigation was performed, showing a polymorphic light eruption induced by UVB. DISCUSSION: Patients infected with HIV have a high prevalence of UV radiation responsive skin diseases. On the other hand, UVA radiations, UVB and UVC have been shown to induce activation and replication of HIV. PUVA therapy and UVB therapy have shown their efficacity in the treatment of many photodermatoses associated with HIV infection, without any worsening of the illness. Many questions are not yet solved in the relationship between HIV and photosensitivity and the photobiological investigation should be more frequently done.
