This study aimed to determine if seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin manifestation in AIDS patients. The authors conducted a cohort study of AIDS patients seen at a hospital over one year. They examined patients for skin conditions and graded seborrheic dermatitis severity. AIDS patients had higher rates of seborrheic dermatitis than HIV-infected or control patients. Patients with more severe seborrheic dermatitis also had higher mortality rates within six months to one year. The results suggest seborrheic dermatitis is increased in AIDS patients and severity may have short-term prognostic value.

Introduction: Several skin conditions are known to be associated with the acquired
immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Our clinical observations suggested the
hypothesis that seborrheic dermatitis is an under-recognized but common skin
manifestation of AIDS that has important, short-term prognostic significance.

Methods: All patients with AIDS seen at the Henry Ford Hospital, an urban
hospital, during a one-year period were enrolled in a cohort study. Each patient
underwent a comprehensive skin examination. All skin conditions were noted, and
the severity of seborrheic dermatitis was graded. A group of sex and aged matched
patients seen during the same time period served as a control group. In the second
part of the study, AIDS or HIV patients with the most severe grades of seborrheic
dermatitis were compared to patients with mild or no seborrheic dermatitis for short
term mortality. Comparisons were analyzed with chi square and relative risk
calculations.

Results: The most common risk factors for the cases were homosexuality and IV
drug abuse. Eighty percent (15/18) of AIDS- and 42% (5/12) of HIV-infected
patients had seborrheic dermatitis compared 10% (3/10) of controls (P <0.001
AIDS vs. controls, P =0.07 for HIV patients vs. controls, and P = 0.01 for AIDS-
vs. HIV-infected). The severity of seborrheic dermatitis seemed to be associated
with short-term prognosis. Of the 6 patients who died during the study, 3 developed
severe seborrheic dermatitis within six months and 2 developed moderate
seborrheic dermatitis within a year of their deaths (relative risk = 2.5, 95% CI =
1.9–3.3). Of the 5 HIV infected patients with seborrheic dermatitis, 2 with moderate
grade progressed to AIDS and one subsequently died during the study period.

Discussion: There is a significant increase in seborrheic dermatitis in patients with


AIDS, and the severity of seborrheic dermatitis may have short-term prognostic
significance.
