| Popis: | Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a chronic skin disease characterized by small follicular papules, disseminated yellowish-pink scaling patches and occasionally palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Both the childhood and adult types are classified in different existing variants, and there is a recent addition of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated disease. It is a rare dermatological condition, and its coexistence with HIV is also very rare, thus the need to report this case. |
