It has three variants: (i) classic EPF; (ii) immunosuppression\u2010associated EPF<\/jats:styled-content>, which herein is subdivided into HIV<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010associated (IS<\/jats:styled-content>\/HIV<\/jats:styled-content>) and non\u2010HIV<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010associated (IS<\/jats:styled-content>\/non\u2010HIV); and (iii) infancy\u2010associated EPF<\/jats:styled-content> (I\u2010EPF<\/jats:styled-content>). The rarity of EPF<\/jats:styled-content> has hindered our understanding of this entity. To examine the characteristics of EPF,<\/jats:styled-content> with respect to age, sex, race, and chronology, published in case reports to date, we queried PubMed using the following terms: (\u201ceosinophilic pustular folliculitis\u201d [All Fields] OR<\/jats:styled-content> \u201ceosinophilic folliculitis\u201d [All Fields]) AND<\/jats:styled-content> (\u201c1965\/1\/1\u201d [PDAT<\/jats:styled-content>]: \u201c2013\/12\/31\u201d [PDAT<\/jats:styled-content>]). Additional Japanese cases were collected from Igaku Chuo Zasshi through Ichushi\u2010Web, JD<\/jats:styled-content>ream III<\/jats:styled-content>, and secondhand quotations from domestic periodicals published in Japan. Proceedings were excluded. The PubMed search produced 275 citations containing 358 cases of EPF<\/jats:styled-content> (224 men, 132 women, and two of unspecified sex); these cases involved classic EPF<\/jats:styled-content> (101 Japanese and 81 non\u2010Japanese), IS<\/jats:styled-content>\/HIV<\/jats:styled-content> (4 Japanese and 85 non\u2010Japanese), IS<\/jats:styled-content>\/non\u2010HIV<\/jats:styled-content> (4 Japanese and 20 non\u2010Japanese), and I\u2010EPF<\/jats:styled-content> (4 Japanese and 59 non\u2010Japanese). Ichushi generated an additional 148 citations containing 207 cases of Japanese (148 men and 59 women), which included cases of classic EPF<\/jats:styled-content> (181 cases), IS<\/jats:styled-content>\/HIV<\/jats:styled-content> (14 cases), IS<\/jats:styled-content>\/non\u2010HIV<\/jats:styled-content> (9 cases), and I\u2010EPF<\/jats:styled-content> (3 cases). There was no sex difference in the classic EPF<\/jats:styled-content> cases reported between 2003 and 2013, whereas IS<\/jats:styled-content>\/HIV<\/jats:styled-content>, IS<\/jats:styled-content>\/non\u2010HIV<\/jats:styled-content>, and I\u2010EPF<\/jats:styled-content> were predominated by men. There is room for reconsideration of sex differences, particularly with regard to classic EPF<\/jats:styled-content>. The rarity and specificity of I\u2010EPF<\/jats:styled-content> in Japan may reflect a state of uncertainty about this entity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1346-8138.12783","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,12]],"date-time":"2015-02-12T22:03:53Z","timestamp":1423778633000},"page":"343-352","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis: The transition in sex differences and interracial characteristics between 1965 and 2013"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Takashi","family":"Nomura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine Kyoto Japan"},{"name":"Department of Dermatology Ijinkai Takeda General Hospital Kyoto Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mayumi","family":"Katoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine Kyoto Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yosuke","family":"Yamamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine Kyoto Japan"},{"name":"Department of Healthcare Epidemiology School of Public Health Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine Kyoto Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Kabashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine Kyoto Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshiki","family":"Miyachi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine Kyoto Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1965.01600140057014","article-title":"Subcorneal pustular dermatosis;
