Summary:We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM). During her workup infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was detected. She developed a cerebral toxoplasmosis, salmonella sp. bacteremia and oral ulcerations with the presence of type I herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus. The relation of REM with the deposition of mucin in AIDS patients' bone marrow and HIV infection is discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first report where REM is associated with HIV disease.
