| Popis: | Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is a recently described rare disease of immunosuppressed patients characterized by folliculocentric papules and keratin spicules. The condition is highly associated with the TS-associated polyomavirus (TSPyV); however, the causal mechanism remains undiscovered. Currently, there is a dearth of case reports on this condition, and treatment for TS is not well established. We report a case of TS that successfully responded to reduction of immunosuppression. |
