Abstract
Cutavirus (CuV) is associated with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), of which parapsoriasis is a precursor. Our study reveals a significantly higher CuV-DNA prevalence in skin swabs of parapsoriasis patients (6/13; 46.2%) versus those of healthy adults (1/51; 1.96%). Eight patients (8/12; 66.7%) had CuV DNA in biopsied skin, and 4 developed CTCL.
