AB We report two patients with skin disorders usually associated with
severe immunosuppression, who had low CD4+ lymphocyte counts but normal
immunoglobulin levels. The patients were HIV negative, and had CD4+
lymphocyte counts just above 300/mm3, but they presented with cutaneous
manifestations of profound immunodeficiency. Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocyte
deficiency is a recently described syndrome which may present with
dermatological disease. We discuss the symptom complex of our patients
in relationship to the diagnosis of idiopathic CD4+ lymphocyte
deficiency.
