Acne fulminans is a rare condition and the most severe form of acne. It involves the sudden onset of febrile and multisystemic symptoms, with poor response to ordinary therapy in patients who previously had mild to moderate acne. It is characterized by hemorrhagic ulcerative crusting lesions on the face, chest and upper back. The authors report a case of acne fulminans that was successfully treated with oral prednisone and dapsone.
暴发性痤疮是一种罕见的疾病，也是痤疮最严重的形式。它表现为发热和多系统症状的突然发作，既往有轻度至中度痤疮的患者对普通治疗反应不佳。其特征是面部、胸部和上背部出现出血性溃疡性结痂病变。作者报告了一例用口服泼尼松和氨苯砜成功治疗的暴发性痤疮病例。
