RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The exacerbation of porokeratosis of Mibelli associated with inmunosuppression has been well documented. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We describe the clinical and histologic data of three cases of HIV-infected patients, who developed porokeratosis following HIV-contact. RESULTS: The three reported patients were found to have the clinical and histologic features of porokeratosis of Mibelli. Either the exacerbation or development of the disease followed HIV infection. CONCLUSION: Although porokeratosis is not a disease indicative of AIDS, its flare-up or its presence in HIV-infected patients may serve as a marker of inmunodeficiency.
