A 47-year-old woman who lived in the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro and had abandoned her Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) therapy 3 years prior, was admitted to our hospital due to weight loss, cough, and fever for 2 weeks. The dermatologic examination established normochromic papules with molluscum-like central umbilication on the face (Figure 1) and hands, erythema and infiltration in the oral cavity (Figure 2), desquamative patches on the legs, and ulceration on right calcaneus (Figure 3). Her CD4 (T-cells) count was 47 cells/ mm. 3 Direct mycology examination and cultures for several agents were performed.
