We present a case of a three-month-old Hispanic female seen in the clinic for atopic dermatitis (AD) along with a rare incidence of associated cephalocervical lymphadenitis. The patient had a three-month history of redness, irritation, inflammation, and pruritus of the scalp, face, torso, and lymph nodes. The history and examination originally indicated seborrheic dermatitis with AD, impetigo, and folliculitis on the differential. Due to the rarity of this presentation, it is crucial to increase clinical recognition and awareness of this combination among physicians to improve patient outcomes. Recognizing this unusual presentation can lead to more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans, ultimately benefiting the patient while also advancing our understanding of similar cases.
我们报告一例三个月大的西班牙裔女性病例，该患者因特应性皮炎（AD）在诊所就诊，同时伴有罕见的头颈部淋巴结炎。患者有三个月的头皮、面部、躯干和淋巴结发红、刺激、炎症和瘙痒病史。病史和检查最初提示鉴别诊断为脂溢性皮炎合并AD、脓疱病和毛囊炎。由于这种表现罕见，提高医生对这种组合的临床认识和意识对于改善患者预后至关重要。认识到这种不寻常的表现可以导致更准确的诊断和量身定制的治疗方案，最终使患者受益，同时也增进我们对类似病例的理解。
