Figure 6
(a) Suppurative folliculitis (black arrow) associated with interface dermatitis (red arrow), the latter ascribed to recently introduced HAART. There is a florid folliculocentric neutrophilic infiltrate (b), with the lumen of the partially disrupted follicle containing both Staphylococcus organisms and Malassezia yeasts (c). Drug-induced pauci-inflammatory interface dermatitis is observed in the neighbouring epidermis (d, e). (By courtesy of Dr. J.
