Abstract
Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is a rare condition which is being increasingly reported in HIV-positive patients. Many therapies have been used to treat this condition. We report the first successful use of the H1 antihistamine cetirizine to treat the condition and postulate that the specific antieosinophilic action of this drug may explain the beneficial clinical effect seen in our patient.
