Aquagenic urticaria and human immunodeficiency virus infection: treatment with stanozolol.

Department of Dermatology, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, U.K.

Abstract

We report the first case of aquagenic urticaria in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This is a rare physical urticaria not previously described in this context. The disorder proved unamenable to conventional treatment with antihistamines, but did respond dramatically to stanozolol, suggesting a novel indication for this anabolic steroid.
