Abstract:
Erythroderma presents as generalized skin redness. The features of a 39-year-old man who presented with erythroderma are described. His skin biopsy revealed hyphae in the stratum corneum, which established the diagnosis of tinea corporis. His erythroderma resolved following treatment with an oral antifungal agent. Several conditions can be associated with erythroderma. Common etiologies for erythroderma include medications, neoplasms, and papulosquamous disorders. Superficial dermatophyte-associated erythroderma is rare. However, although erythroderma caused by generalized superficial mycosis is infrequently encountered, tinea corporis should be included in the new-onset or chronic erythroderma. The detection of fungal hyphae in the stratum corneum of a biopsy of the erythrodermic skin can not only establish dermatophyte infection as the underlying cause of the individual\'s erythroderma but also an alternative cause of erythroderma.
摘要:
红皮病表现为全身皮肤发红。描述了一名39岁的红皮病患者的特征。他的皮肤活检显示角质层有菌丝,确定了体癣的诊断。他的红皮病在口服抗真菌药物治疗后消退。几种情况可能与红皮病有关。红皮病的常见病因包括药物治疗,肿瘤,和丘疹鳞状疾病。浅表性皮肤癣菌相关红皮病很少见。然而,虽然由全身性浅表真菌病引起的红皮病很少见,体癣应包括在新发或慢性红皮病中。在红皮皮肤活检的角质层中检测到真菌菌丝不仅可以将皮肤癣菌感染确定为个体红皮病的根本原因,而且还可以确定红皮病的替代原因。
