Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is a rare, chronic skin condition that is non-infectious and often linked to other health issues like HIV and syphilis.
- A case study highlights the first known instance of EPF occurring in a patient with syphilis, suggesting a connection between the two conditions through similar immune responses.
- The patient, a 48-year-old man, had symptoms that included redness and pustules on his face and neck, which improved significantly after treatment, though some skin pigmentation remained.
