Desquamative Erythroderma Associated to Urinary Tract Infection, Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Generalized exfoliative erythroderma is an inflammatory skin syndrome. The incidence in dermatological patients is 13 out of every 100,000 patients. Its etiology is multifactorial, so it is a challenge to identify them, among the most common causes are psoriasis, drug hypersensitivity and phototoxicity. Most of the time, the clinician is oriented to think of a direct relationship between the dermatological presentation and the consumption of medications, since it is the most published cause founded in the medical literature and indexed journals. The clinical case that we present, refers to a case of erythroderma associated to a systemic infection. So far there are three documented cases in this regard in medical databases such as PubMed [1, 2, 3]. Our report is unique in this sense, we present the clinical case of a woman in her seventh decade of life with a history of hyperuricemia and chronic eosinophilia syndrome, hospitalized for urosepsis that debuted as desquamative erythroderma.
