A1 - Kristal, Leonard Y1 - 2008 N1 - T2 - Color Atlas of Pediatric Dermatology, 4e AB - This figure illustrates a form of infection with varicella zoster virus that is unique to patients with immune suppression from HIV. The 6-year-old child pictured here developed recurrent vesicular and ulcerative lesions of the trunk and extremities following an episode of chickenpox. The lesions contain numerous multinucleated giant cells and are culture-positive for varicella zoster virus. This form of infection responds to treatment with intravenous acyclovir but tends to recur when therapy is discontinued.
