Just curious.. can eosinophilic folliculitis happen to anyone or just hiv infected people? and how long it lasts if untreated?

Different causes: Although most people do you think of this as only occurring in patients with HIV this is not true. If you have had an organ transplant, hematologic disease or in normal children this can occur. Since this is not contagious it is not treated with antibiotics. It can be treated with antihistamines to relieve the itch and ultraviolet light therapy.

Eosinophilic Disease: There is a very strong connection to ef and human immunodeficiency virus, or hiv. The two are almost inseparable; the first search term that comes up is eosinophilic folliculitis hiv. While anyone can be affected by ef, it is rare for people without HIV to have this condition. The reason is likely because of the weakened immune system, though HIV may also cause a change in the immune system.
