摘要
We report a case of a 60-year-old man infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who was transferred to our hospital for management of multiple non-healing, painful ulcers on the lower extremities. The histological findings of the biopsy specimen were compatible with the diagnosis of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). An association between HIV infection and the development of PG was considered after a thorough investigation. Antiretroviral therapy without the use of adjunctive immunosuppressive agents resulted in clinical improvement. Our case implies that antiretroviral therapy alone could heal PG in untreated HIV-infected patients. (C) 2014, Japanese Society of Chemotherapy and The Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases.
