Severe dyshidrosis in two patients with HIV infection shortly after starting highly active antiretroviral treatment

TL;DRAbstract

The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is the gold-standard treatment for HIV infected patients.

Several factors have been associated with the exacerbation of dyshidrosis lesions but no direct relationship with HAART has been reported until now.
