 AB    We report two patients with skin disorders usually associated with
       severe immunosuppression, who had low CD4+ lymphocyte counts but normal
       immunoglobulin levels. The patients were HIV negative, and had CD4+
       lymphocyte counts just above 300/mm3, but they presented with cutaneous
       manifestations of profound immunodeficiency. Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocyte
       deficiency is a recently described syndrome which may present with
       dermatological disease. We discuss the symptom complex of our patients
       in relationship to the diagnosis of idiopathic CD4+ lymphocyte
       deficiency.
