A study of 46 cases of exfoliative dermatitis revealed peak distribution in sixth decade and very high preponderance in males (M:F = 6.67 : 1). The highest single cause was found to be psoriasis (41.30%). Injudicious use of topical medicaments including herbal medicines and haphazard treatment were found to be the precipitating factors in 34% cases of pre-existing dermatoses. Laboratory investigations contributed little towards diagnosis except in lymphoma group; but were helpful in knowing systemic implications of the disease. Skin biopsy was found to be helpful in diagnosing underlying skin disorders in 18 cases (40.91%). Two cases (43.5%) had malignancy as the cause of exfoliative dermatitis.
一项对46例剥脱性皮炎患者的研究显示,发病高峰在60岁,男性占比极高(男:女 = 6.67 : 1)。最常见的单一病因是银屑病(41.30%)。在34%的既往皮肤病病例中,发现不合理使用包括草药在内的外用药物以及胡乱治疗是诱发因素。除淋巴瘤组外,实验室检查对诊断帮助不大;但有助于了解疾病的全身影响。皮肤活检对18例(40.91%)潜在皮肤疾病的诊断有帮助。2例(43.5%)剥脱性皮炎的病因是恶性肿瘤。
