Viral-associated trichodysplasia

Viral-associated trichodysplasia (also known as ciclosporin-induced folliculodystrophy) is a rare cutaneous condition that occasionally occurs with organ transplant patients on immunosuppressive regimens, characterized by erythematous 1- to 3-mm facial papules.

A new human polyomavirus (trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus or "TSV") was recently discovered and identified as the possible cause of trichodysplasia spinulosa in immunocompromized patients.
