opportunistic infections due to free-living amoebae such as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (gae), cutaneous acanthamoebiasis and disseminated infections could be the causative agent of mortality in people living with hiv/aids. in this study, we report the occurrence of the acanthamoeba belonging to the t4 genotype isolated from nasal and oral swabs of a 15 -yr-old man with hiv infection. hi...

Dermal granulomatous inflammation was identified immediately adjacent to seven (77%) of nine atypical fibroxanthomas arising in sun damaged skin. Concomitant elastophagocytosis was observed in five (56%) of these seven patients. Similar inflammation with elastophagocytosis was found in association with only two (6%) of 36 epithelial tumours arising on the same background (10 basal and 10 squamo...
