A 22-year-old Caucasian man was admitted to the Emergency with severe hypoxemic respiratory failure. Physical examination revealed non-pruritic papules and plaques with a brownish color, localized to the flexures (axillae, groin, antecubital, popliteal fossae) (Figure 1: A-C) and to the palms and soles. He also had a posterior uveitis and a lumbar puncture was made.
