Abstract

Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis (NEH) usually occurs in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia or other malignant diseases. We experienced a case of NEH occurring in an HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-positive 35-year-old male patient. The patient presented with a 1-year history of recurrent erythematous papule on his upper extremity. Laboratory studies showed that Anti-HIV is positive and HIV RNA PCR is 1.02x106. Histopathologic study showed neutrophilic infiltration within and around the eccrine glands and degeneration of the eccrine glands.
