Hepatitis B is associated with classic PAN, among other conditions. HIV is associated with many dermatoses. HTLV-1 is associated with mycosis fungoides. TB can be associated with Erythema Induratum and tuberculid reactions. None of the above conditions is classically associated with necrolytic acral erythema.
