Abstract
Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic multisystemic inflammatory disease with chronic wax and waning course. Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is characterized by pruritic follicular papules and pustules that may involve the face, trunk, and upper arms. The precise etiopathogenesis of EPF is not yet elucidated. Immunological aberrations have been suggested to play pivotal roles, as the most common type of EPF is associated with HIV infection. Herein, we describe a patient with BD who presented with multiple vesicopustular lesions that were pathologically proven to represent EPF, and further postulate that EPF may be considered as cutaneous lesions of BD, although further studies are necessitated.
