Even when there is not direct relation between psoriasis and AIDS, there have been reported impressive manifestations of psoriasis in AIDS diagnosis, difficulties in response to therapy, increase of serious forms of the disease, and clearing of lesions in terminal phase of AIDS. Two cases in which the two diseases are associated were presented. Both cases had outbreaking psoriasis guttata, one of them after being diagnosed with AIDS, in addition to have other dermatosis such as leukoplasia and ungual candidiasis; and the two patients also had scabies. Additionally, presentation of generalized lesions resistant to prescribed therapies was observed.
