Azidothymidine is now widely used in treatment of patients with AIDS or ARC; the most important side effects of this drug are anaemia and neutropenia. Recently pigmentary changes of the nails (diffuse pigmentation and longitudinal or transverse bands) provoked by azidothymidine-treatment have also been reported. We describe a such case.
