ACHENBACH, R E; JORGE, M I  e  SANCHEZ, G F. Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis: Ofuji's disease. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2007, vol.88, n.4, pp.198-203. ISSN 1851-300X.

A case of the so called eosinophilic pustular folliculitis or Ofuji´s disease, without blood eosinophilia nor immunosuppression is reported. The patient responded at first well to Dapsone, but an increase of the hepatic enzymes and bilirubin was detected and only topical therapy with clobetazol and pimecrolimus was carried out with a good response. A revision of the disease with emphasis in the concept of infundibulitis rather than folliculitis was made. The eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is a pattern of response to multifactorial, mostly unknown, causes and not a single disease.
