Psoriasis is commonly reported in association with HIV in adults. A 3‐month‐old girl with HIV presented with a widespread eruption and was diagnosed with psoriasis. This is the first infant reported with psoriasis in association with HIV infection. The relationship between the two entities is discussed, as is the role of treatment with zidovudine.
