Abstract:
We report a case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis in a 18-year-old woman who had numerous mild pruritic erythematous plaques with follicular papules and pustules covering almost her whole body. Histopathologically intrafollicular, perifollicular and perivascular eosinophilic infiltrates were present with mild spongiosis. The blocd eosinophil count was 9%. The patient responded well to systemic administration of corticosteroid and dapsoni.
