Erythroderma Polyneuropathic

Erythroderma is an acute or chronic disease characterized by a progressive generalized (over the entire body) inflammatory skin reaction of unknown etiology. They are a form of cutaneous tuberculosis, which is very severe. The term comes from the Greek erythros - red and derma - skin. Development



Erythroderma polyneuropathic (English: erythroderma polyneuropathic, EPP) is a skin disease characterized by a symmetrical distribution of dark red erythema, pinpoint pityriasis rash, pustules and vesicles on parts of the body; observed infrequently. In the USA, it is common mainly in patients with AIDS.

Erythroderma is a generalized skin inflammation of an inflammatory nature. Unites a group of inflammatory diseases of the skin - dermatoses, which arise due to systemic damage to the skin. Some of them are allergic in nature. With such dermatoses, the reaction occurs directly to the substance that has become an irritant. There are also diseases that appear when immunity decreases or the body is exposed to hypothermia. These are considered to be vakdynia (purulent dermatosis), papulonecrotic tuberculosis and measles. Inflammation can also occur with subcutaneous infections and diseases, so-called fevers. This could be a tuberculosis allergy or scabies. There are also sebornoe dermatitis. They are among the most common diseases of this type. These dermatitis can be inherited and occur due to liver problems.



Erythrodermic polyneuropathy is a rare, complex and multiorgan syndrome caused by a polyneuropathogenic immune response from the peripheral and central nervous systems.

The history of the disease began in the mid-18th century, when doctors began to observe cases of sudden necrotic lesions of the skin after several days of normal body temperature. The episode can quickly spread to other areas of the body, leaving the patient with various symptoms such as inflammation and swelling, as well as neuronal deficits and neuropathic pain syndrome.

The term "erythroderma" was coined by French physician Charles Louis Claude Fabry in 1797 to describe a red rash on the skin. In 1946, Treece and Burnett used the terms "erythroderma multiforme" and "erythroderma pseudonecrotica". Later in 2004, Haraguchi coined the term "erythrodramic polyneuropathy", describing it as a combination of polyneuropathy and erythrodeca
