 AB    We report a case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome with pruritic
       papular eruption. The patient, a hemophiliac, presented with generalized
       pruritic, skin-colored papules and nodules. The chronic lesions were
       excoriated and hyper-pigmented. The eosinophil count was elevated, but
       IgE was normal. The lesions and pruritus responded only to ultraviolet B
       phototherapy. While the mechanism is not known, ultraviolet B
       phototherapy may provide relief of AIDS-related pruritus.
