Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis-Like eruptions manifesting as Cutaneous Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome: A case report in a female with HIV infection in NorthCentral Nigeria.
Abstract
The Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) refers to the paradoxical worsening or appearance of a
new clinical condition in a subset of patients with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection after
commencement of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). There are various infectious, inflammatory,
autoimmune and neoplastic conditions affecting the skin which can manifest as IRIS and are largely under reported in
sub-saharan Africa.
We report the case of a thirty year old woman with HIV infection who presented with Epidermodysplasia VerruciformisLike (EVL) lesions a few months after she commenced HAART.
Keywords: Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis-Like, HAART, IRIS
