Infective dermatitis-like lesions as a novel skin manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus

Clin Case Rep. 2019 Dec 21;8(1):51-54. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.2525. eCollection 2020 Jan.

Abstract

We describe a unique case of human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1)-associated infective dermatitis-like lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus. This suggests that some lupus patients may have immunological abnormalities resembling to those described in chronic HTLV-1 infection.

Keywords: HTLV1‐associated infective dermatitis; eczematous eruption; lupus erythematosus; pustulosis.
