2010, The Lancet Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Six (54%) patients had a good to excellent response and four (36%) had total clearance of psoriasis in one report in which the most effective dose was 75 mg/day.79 The use of acitretin has also resulted in rapid clearance of skin lesions in AIDS-associated reactive arthritis80 and is effective for pustular and erythrodermic HIV-associated psoriasis variants.32 Low dose acitretin (25 mg/day) when combined with ultraviolet A or B phototherapy (Re-PUVA or Re-UVB) results in rapid synergistic clearing of psoriasis.81
Dermatology of the Patient with HIV
2010, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :As psoriasis can be the first presentation of HIV infection, HIV testing should be considered in a patient who has worsening of stable psoriasis or develops psoriasis de novo, especially in patients with risk factors for HIV infection.29,30 The severity of the presentation often correlates to the degree of immune suppression.31 Psoriasis vulgaris, classically appearing with thick white scale, may present with widespread involvement covering almost the entire body surface (Fig. 12).
