We report a new case of excessive growth of eyelashes in a patient seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus 1. The exact mechanism of this hypertrichosis is still unknown. Although this sign seems to occur late in the human immunodeficiency virus infection, we believe early recognition of this manifestation could lead, in some cases, to earlier diagnosis of the infection.
