Ninety adult patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and 27 with AIDS-related complex were seen consecutively, when available, either as inpatients or in AIDS clinics and given complete cutaneous examinations. Skin disease was common both in patients with AIDS and in those with AIDS-related complex. The most common cutaneous findings were candidiasis in 55 patients (47.0%), dermatophytosis in 35 (30%), herpes simplex infections in 26 (22%), molluscum contagiosum in 11 (9%), seborrheic dermatitis in 37 (32%), and acquired ichthyosis or xerosis in 36 (30%). Several cutaneous conditions previously reported in association with AIDS were infrequently seen: Psoriasis was seen in only one patient, and deep fungal infections and basal and squamous cell carcinomas were seen in none. No significant differences were noted in the prevalence of skin disease between patients with AIDS and those with AIDS-related complex, although xerosis and ichthyosiform skin changes tended to be more common in those with AIDS. The yellow nail syndrome and "a papular eruption" associated with AIDS were seen. Skin diseases also tended to be widespread and severe in the patients studied.
