Lichen verrucosus et reticularis of Kaposi (porokeratosis striata of Nekam): a manifestation of acquired adult toxoplasmosis

Abstract

Three young adults are described with features of lichen verrucosus et reticularis of Kaposi (porokeratosis of Nékam). Serological evidence of toxoplasmosis (active or recent infection) was found in all three. Marked improvement on appropriate treatment occurred in the one patient who presented evidence of systemic toxoplasmosis.
