Pellizzari Anetoderma Urticaria

Disease name: Pellizzeri-Urbach-Vitelliana

Pellizzeri, Urbacha, Vitellina and others (1860-1877) described the so-called Pellizzeria (Pellizzaria) - a special type of eczema, which is characterized by the presence of small blisters and papules on the skin, which quickly merge to form large erythematous spots covered with scales. The disease begins with the appearance of small papules on the skin of the hands and face, then they merge into large spots that can be covered with scales or crusts. Characterized by severe itching and burning of the skin, especially after contact with water or other irritants. Treatment includes antihistamines, corticosteroid creams and ointments, and avoidance of irritants.

The disease was named after the Italian dermatologist Pellizzer, who first described it in 1860. In 1875, Urbach and Vitellina independently described a similar disease called “pelizzeriana.” In 1900, Grigson and O'Connor reported a new type of eczema, which they named after Pellizzera. However, in 1910, Marx and Strechel returned to the name “Pellizzerian eczema” and explained that it was just a form of eczema.

**Pellizzari Anetosis dermatosis**, as defined by K. A. Finka, includes skin rashes in the form of small erythematous vesicles, the grayish contents of which quickly become transparent. Skin hyperemia and moderate itching are noted. Sometimes the blisters merge into large non-inflammatory blisters such as epidermolysis bullosa. Pustules may appear. When a secondary infection occurs, hyperemia, swelling, infiltration, pain, and purulent discharge are noted; Scratching leaves retraction scars. Epidermization occurs independently. Etiology unknown. P.A. u. often occurs in women. The prognosis is favorable. An important differential diagnostic value is the detection of grayish translucent contents of the blisters, caused by an increase in the electrical resistance of the skin during ultraphonoscopic examination.
