BACKGROUND: Norwegian scabies (NS) is a serious parasitic skin condition. Although NS is one of the causes of erythroderma, it is frequently overlooked. Therefore, it is essential to raise awareness regarding NS presenting as erythroderma.
METHODS: We present a case of NS that persisted for more than 3 years. After following nonstandard treatment, the patient\'s rash worsened and gradually progressed into erythroderma. Finally, NS was diagnosed by skin microscopy and pathology.
CONCLUSIONS: When patients with pruritic dermatosis have high-risk factors such as prolonged bed rest and immunodeficiency, clinicians need to enhance their awareness of NS and ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND: PRP is a rare entity of unknown etiopathogenesis. Lack of management guidelines makes it a challenge for clinicians.
OBJECTIVE: To add our experience to increase evidence about PRP.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective, descriptive and multicentric study of 65 patients with PRP, being the largest European case series of patients with PRP.
RESULTS: PRP was more frequent in male patients with an average age of 51 years, but erythrodermic forms presented in older patients (average age 61 years). Six (75%) paediatric patients and ten (60%) non-erythrodermic adults controlled their disease with topical corticosteroids. On the contrary, 26 (68%) erythrodermic patients required biologic therapy as last and effective therapy line requiring an average of 6.5 months to achieve complete response.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed a statistical difference in terms of outcome and response to treatment between children or patients with limited disease and patients who develop erythroderma.

Erythroderma, also known as exfoliative dermatitis, is a rarely reported atypical cutaneous manifestation of adult-onset Still\'s disease (AOSD). We present the case of erythroderma in association with AOSD that was steroid dependent and responded to tocilizumab therapy. Skin rash, pruritis, and related laboratory findings were significantly improved upon the addition of tocilizumab, while prednisolone was successfully tapered to an ever-lowest maintenance level. To our knowledge, this is the first to report the sole therapeutic effect of tocilizumab in erythroderma related to AOSD.

BACKGROUND: Dermatophytes are the most common causative pathogens of mycoses worldwide and usually cause superficial infections. However, they can enter deep into the dermis lead to invasive dermatophytosis such as deeper dermal dermatophytosis on rare occasions. Erythroderma is a severe dermatological manifestation of various diseases resulting in generalized skin redness, but erythroderma due to fungi infections is barely reported. In this article, we reported the first case of erythroderma combined with deeper dermal dermatophytosis due to Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) in a patient with myasthenia gravis.
METHODS: A 48-year-old man was hospitalized because of erythema with scaling and nodules covering his body for a month. The patient had a history of myasthenia gravis controlled by regularly taking prednisolone for > 10 years and accompanied by onychomycosis and tinea pedis lasting > 8 years. Based on histopathological examinations, fungal cultures, and DNA sequencing results, the patient was finally diagnosed with dermatophyte-induced erythroderma combined with deeper dermal dermatophytosis caused by T. rubrum. After 2 weeks of antifungal treatment, the patient had recovered well.
CONCLUSIONS: This case report shows that immunosuppressed patients with long histories of superficial mycoses tend to have a higher risk of developing invasive dermatophytic infections or disseminated fungal infections. Dermatologists should be alert to this condition and promptly treat the superficial dermatophytosis.

Tuberculosis is a serious contagious disease mainly affecting the lungs and is common in the developing countries. The essential component of all antitubercular regimens include Isoniazid, pyrazinamide as first-line drugs. A serious cutaneous adverse drug reaction namely exfoliative dermatitis (erythroderma) is associated with isoniazid use though uncommon but is common among pyrazinamide users. Here we report 3 cases of tuberculosis patients on antitubercular therapy (ATT) for 8 weeks, came to hospital OP (outpatient) with severe generalized redness and scaling with itching distributed all over the body and trunk. Immediately ATT was discontinued and all the three patients were administered antihistaminic and corticosteroid. The patients recovered within 3 weeks. To confirm ATT induced erythroderma and narrow down the offending agents, sequential rechallenge with ATT was done and again these patients had similar lesions erupt all over the body only with isoniazid and pyrazinamide. Antihistamine, steroids were started and the symptoms resolved and completely recovered within 3 weeks. Prompt withdrawal of the culprit drug along with appropriate medications and supportive measures is necessary for good prognosis. Physicians must be judicious while prescribing ATT especially, isoniazid and pyrazinamide as these can precipitate fatal cutaneous adverse reactions. Strict vigilance may help in early detection of this type ADR and timely management.

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is one of the causes of erythroderma; however, to date, there have been relatively few reported cases. We herein describe 6 cases of erythrodermic PF. In all 6 cases, PF was a direct cause of erythroderma because the patients had not undergone any medical treatments and neither had any other skin diseases nor were taking any drugs that typically cause erythroderma. Serum levels of IgE and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine were elevated in 5 of the 6 cases, whereas soluble interleukin-2 receptor and squamous cell carcinoma-related antigen were markedly increased in all cases, suggesting that those markers are strong indicators of skin surface damage. All patients were treated with predonisolon (PSL), of which PSL pulse was added in 4 patients and intravenous immunoglobulin was added in 4 patients. Furthermore, all patients except for one were older adults, among whom 2 cases developed Kaposi\'s varicelliform eruption, and died, and another 2 patients, respectively, died of gastrointestinal bleeding and sepsis. Kaposi\'s varicelliform eruption is a complication of erythrodermic PF associated with poor prognosis, and thus caution is necessary when considering the diagnosis. Furthermore, elderly people are more likely to have complications due to PSL, which may result in death. Inappropriate treatment and delay in treatment may cause erythroderma, so early diagnosis and treatment are necessary.

Ichthyosiform eruption of mycosis fungoides is rare, and ichthyosis with superimposed mycosis fungoides is scarcely ever seen; only a few cases have been documented in the medical literature. Furthermore, the patients with ichthyosiform lesions may indicate the presence of an underlying systemic disease, paraneoplastic syndrome, or an atypical manifestation of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Thus, determining the accurate etiology is important to establish the correct diagnosis and subsequently facilitate its management. They should be evaluated thoroughly, and a skin biopsy is essential to rule out the possibility of ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides.

Exfoliative dermatitis (ED) is a rare and life-threatening dermatological emergency caused by a wide range of cutaneous or systemic conditions, such as inflammatory dermatosis, drug reactions, and malignancies. We report a case of a 77-year-old man who developed ED five days after starting nitrofurantoin. The drug was withdrawn, and the patient was treated with topical corticosteroid and supportive care, after which there was a full recovery within a week. This report describes an uncommon entity with a guarded prognosis that requires proper diagnosis and management.
