Abstract
|
|
|
|
Papuloerythroderma of Ofuji is an uncommon dermatological disorder of unknown etiology and is characterized by a pruritic eruption of widespread confluent papules in vast sheets over the skin, but spares the skin folds (the so-called ’deck-chair’ effect). We present a case of a patient with papuloerythroderma of Ofuji of unknown cause. Treatment with oral and topical corticosteroids, antihistamines, and narrow-band UVB phototherapy proved to be ineffective in helping the condition but considerable clinical improvement was obtained with cyclosporine.
