Obstet Gynecol. 1994 Oct;84(4 Pt 2):712-4.

Abstract

Background: CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia immunodeficiency without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been reported recently. The association between immunodeficiency and anogenital neoplasia secondary to human papillomavirus infections is well documented.

Case: A woman with recurrent vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) had idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia without HIV infection.

Conclusion: Human papillomavirus-related VIN may be associated with idiopathic CD4+ T-lymphocytopenia.
