| Abstrakt: |
We present the case of an ulcerative lesion of the nasal mucous membrane and of the cutis surrounding the nose, starting six months ago, in a 26 year-old woman. From the histological picture a necrotic Herpes-virus infection was diagnosed. This suggested the existence of a deficiency of cell-mediated immunity. In fact a selective quantitative defect in the helper/inducer subset of T lymphocytes, as observed in AIDS, was noticed. HIV infection was confirmed by the ELISA test and the Western Blot test. Viral cultures grew HSV I from the skin lesion, which rapidly recovered after treatment with Acyclovir. We emphasize the absence of other signs and symptoms that could make us suspect an HIV infection and the rarity in the literature of the occurrence of HSV infections in that particular location as an initial manifestation of AIDS. |
