The papular eruption (PE) associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection, although described as a distinctive clinicopathologic entity, has shown a wide range of histologic findings ranging from eosinophilic folliculitis to granuloma annulare. We examined 48 cases of the PE in order to define the histologic spectrum of these lesions, and to correlate these findings with clinical presentations. The most distinctive clinical features are the frequency of these lesions in this population, the large number of lesions, pruritus, and the chronic nature of the lesions. Histologically, the distinctive features are the prominent perivascular factor XIIIa-positive dermal dendritic cells, atypical vascular proliferation, and dermal fibrosis sometimes associated with diffuse necrobiotic changes.

D009418 S100 Proteins A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.

D011503 Transglutaminases Transglutaminases catalyze cross-linking of proteins at a GLUTAMINE in one chain with LYSINE in another chain. They include keratinocyte transglutaminase (TGM1 or TGK), tissue transglutaminase (TGM2 or TGC), plasma transglutaminase involved with coagulation (FACTOR XIII and FACTOR XIIIa), hair follicle transglutaminase, and prostate transglutaminase. Although structures differ, they share an active site (YGQCW) and strict CALCIUM dependence.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
