Abstract

Aplasia cutis congenita is a rare congenital disorder characterized by single or multiple skin defects at time of birth. After having diagnosed Human immunodeficiency virus infection, the mother took antiretroviral agents during pregnancy and all other antenatal test results were within normal range. Right after birth, a skin defect on the newborn's vertex scalp was detected which was diagnosed as Aplasia cutis congenita. We report a case with a literature review.

Key Words: Aplasia cutis congenita, Human immunodeficiency virus infection
