Abstract
- We present three cases of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis without eosinophilia in a 19-year-old female, a 27-year-old male, and a 51-year-old male. Multiple erythematous plaques with papules and pustules were observed on the face in two patients and on the face, trunk, and extremities in the third patient. Histopathologic findings showed hair follicles and the sebaceous glands infiltrated with mixed inflammatory cells composed of eosinophils and neutrophils, characteristic of eosinophilic pustular follicultitis. However, peripheral blood eosinophilia was not present in any of our three cases.
