We report a 77-year-old man who had spontaneous improvement
of generalized vitiligo after treatment of HIV. Repigmentation of
the pre-existing vitiligo lesions in HIV-infected individuals,
possibly caused by HIV-related immunosuppression or antiretroviral
therapy, has been reported previously.3 Because our patient did
not receive any treatment for vitiligo since 7 years ago, repigmentation
in the patient can be partially explained with receiving
antiretroviral therapy.
