Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is a rare and challenging-to-diagnose severe form of psoriasis. Its presentation can have similarities with other inflammatory skin conditions, complicating subsequent management. We present a case of a 76-year-old woman with EP who presented with fever, tachycardia, leg swelling with pain and redness, and reduced consciousness. Her imaging revealed characteristic features of the disease, providing valuable educational insights. We aim to emphasize the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for EP and promptly adjusting treatment.
红皮病型银屑病(EP)是一种罕见且诊断具有挑战性的严重银屑病形式。其表现可能与其他炎症性皮肤病相似,使后续治疗变得复杂。我们报告一例76岁患有红皮病型银屑病的女性病例,她出现发热、心动过速、腿部肿胀伴疼痛和发红以及意识减退。她的影像学检查显示了该病的特征性表现,提供了有价值的教学见解。我们旨在强调对红皮病型银屑病保持高度怀疑并及时调整治疗的重要性。
