Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by widespread and persistent infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) and a risk of malignant degeneration. Most cases of EV are caused by mutations in the two EV genes, EVER1/TMC6 and EVER2/TMC8. The clinical presentation of EV takes two different forms, which coexist in most cases. Over a period of years, patients develop plane warts and pityriasis versicolor-like lesions. Sixteen cases of EV in HIV-positive patients have been clinically investigated and reported in the literature. However, different inherited susceptibilities towards HPV infection in immunodeficient patients, like HIV-positive patients, have only rarely been addressed.
