Abstract

Eosinophilic folliculitis (EF) is regarded as a variant of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF), because it has a few distinctive clinical features different from those of EPF. EF is generally associated with systemic disorders, such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and hematologic malignancies.
We have recently experienced a case of EF occurring in a 40 year-old male patient treated with allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and achieved a good clinical outcome after a short course of systemic corticosteroid therapy. The immunologic aberration resulting from systemic diseases may play a role in the development of EF.

Keywords: Eosinophilic folliculitis, Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), Allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT)
