Erythroderma, or generalized exfoliative dermatitis, is a disease characterized by erythema and scaling of greater than 90% of the body's surface. The resultant dysmetabolism is potentially life threatening. A detailed history is to identify and treat the underlying cause of this dermatitis. We present two cases of erythroderma in African patients and review this important disease.
红皮病,即全身性剥脱性皮炎,是一种以全身超过90%的皮肤出现红斑和脱屑为特征的疾病。由此导致的代谢紊乱可能危及生命。详细的病史有助于识别和治疗这种皮炎的潜在病因。我们介绍两例非洲患者的红皮病病例,并对这种重要疾病进行综述。
