Managing HIV. Part 5: Treating secondary outcomes. 5.1 HIV and skin disease.
    The Medical journal of Australia, 1996, Mar-18, Volume: 164, Issue:6

    The skin is the largest and most visible organ of the body, and a perception of good health depends on its appearance as well as its function. As about 90% of HIV-infected patients develop cutaneous signs and symptoms, diagnosis and management are vital in recognising progression of HIV infection.

Cutaneous alternariosis in an immunocompromised patient.
    Cutis, 1995, Volume: 56, Issue:3

    A case of cutaneous alternariosis in a 68-year-old male farmer is presented. The patient had been treated with prednisone and azathioprine for thrombocytopenic purpura, and two months later he noted multiple ulcerated and slightly infiltrated granulomatous lesions on exposed areas. The diagnosis was confirmed by results of direct examination, culture of biopsy material, and histologic examination. A concurrent herpetic infection healed without sequelae. The protracted course of our patient's condition and a review of the literature suggest the tapering or stopping of steroids as the first step in the successful and permanent treatment of cutaneous alternariosis.

    Pathologic changes in the skin of elderly individuals increase their susceptibility to skin infections. These changes include thinning, decreased secretions, and reduced immune function. This paper will discuss the most important viral, fungal, bacteriologic, and parasitic infections of the skin in the elderly and the appropriate treatment of these infections.
