Abstract

Papular Pruritic Eruption (PPE) is a common clinical manifestation in patients infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The hallmark of PPE is a chronic pruritus with a symmetrically scattered papular eruption on the body and extremities. The pathophysiology of PPE is still unknown. Clinically, PPE is difficult to distinguish between prurigo nodularis, insect bite, or other dermatitis, thus requiring histopathologic examination to exclude other diagnosis. Nevertheless, the consensus on the histopathology picture of PPE is still limited. So the of this study was to found the histopathology spectrum of PPE in HIV- infected patients. This is a descriptive analitycal study to characterize the histopathology pattern in some PPE cases.
