J Am Acad Dermatol. 1987 Mar;16(3 Pt 1):485-506. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(87)70066-8.

Abstract

We present a review of the spectrum of human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) infection with particular emphasis on cutaneous manifestations in 217 patients. Correlations are made with immunodeficiency as measured by absolute T-helper cell number. A classification is presented of these dermatologic findings.
