| Abstract: | Introduction
Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
are highly susceptible to adverse dermatological reactions to
specific medications. Antiretrovirals, particularly nevirapine,
have been associated with a wide range of severe cutaneous conditions such as Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal
necrolysis. We report a case of extensive depigmentation in
an African woman on a nevirapine-based regimen. |
