Özet
Amicrobial pustulosis of the folds (APF) is a chronic, relapsing sterile pustular eruption involving the main cutaneous flexures, scalp, and periorificial regions occurring mostly in young females. It is characterized histopathologically by intraepidermal spongiform pustules with a neutrophilic infiltrate in the dermis.APF is a rare condition that has been reported in association with various immunological abnormalities or autoimmune diseases. We describe here a 37-year-old woman with APF associated with Sjogren's syndrome.
