Von Hebra first described erythroderma (exfoliative dermatitis) in 1868. It characteristically demonstrates diffuse erythema and scaling of greater than 90% of the body surface area. It is a reaction pattern and cutaneous manifestation of a myriad of underlying ailments, including psoriasis and eczema, or a reaction to the consumption of certain drugs. Though some experts believe it does not pose a significant risk of death, erythroderma is a potentially life-threatening condition that requires proper diagnosis, identification of underlying etiology, and management.
冯·希伯拉于1868年首次描述了红皮病(剥脱性皮炎)。其特征为全身表面积超过90%出现弥漫性红斑和脱屑。它是多种潜在疾病的一种反应模式和皮肤表现,包括银屑病和湿疹,或者是对某些药物摄入的反应。尽管一些专家认为它不会构成重大死亡风险,但红皮病是一种潜在的危及生命的疾病,需要进行正确的诊断、确定潜在病因并加以治疗。
