generalized pustular psoriasis with hypoparathyroidism has been reported previously often as a post thyroidectomy syndrome with hypoalbuminemia and hypocalcemia. but reports on association of pustular psoriasis with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism are very rare, and almost all of them occurred in patients with known psoriasis vulgaris. we report one of the youngest cases of this association in a ...

Etanercept is a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) antagonist with anti-inflammatory effects. It is used in the treatment of dermatologic and rheumatologic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. However, etanercept has various cutaneous and systemic side effects. Herein, we report a case of generalized...

We report a case of 61-yr-old man with stable psoriasis who progressively developed generalized pustular eruption, erythroderma, fever, and hepatic dysfunction following oral terbinafine. Skin biopsy was compatible with pustular psoriasis. After discontinuation of terbinafine and initiating topical corticosteroid and calcipotriol combination with narrow band ultraviolet B therapy, patient's con...

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis is a rare pustular eruption which occurs mainly in middle-aged women and rarely during childhood. We report a case of a 15-year-old female with a 4-year history of pustular lesions on the proximal region of the upper limbs with subsequent impairment of the trunk. Physical examination revealed small pustules distributed on the trunk and proximal region of the limbs...

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SCPD, also known as Sneddon-Wilkinson disease) is a rare, benign, chronic, sterile pustular eruption which usually develops in middle-age or elderly women; it is rarely seen in childhood and adolescence. The primary lesions are pea-sized pustules classically described as half-pustular, half-clear flaccid blisters. Histologically the most important feature is a su...

Hallopeau in 1897 1.2 described acrodermatitis continua as characterised by sterile, pustular eruption affecting the skin of the distal phalanges of the fingers and toes, which eventually led to destructive changes of the affected digits. The lesions are usually symmetrical and give rise to persistent erythematous, glazed area of skin. These on occasions developed into generalised pustular psor...

Subcorneal dermatosis is a chronic relapsing pustular eruption which has been recognised for 20 years. The diagnosis can be made only by combining the clinical features of a recurrent eruption mainly on the trunk which spares the mucosae and has the histological appearance of a subcorneal bullae filled with polymorphonuclear leucocytes situated on the surface of normal epidermis. No immunofluor...

Terbinafine is an allylamine antifungal agent. Its severe cutaneous adverse effects are rare, but toxic epidermal necrolysis, pustular drug eruption, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and erythema multiforme had been reported. Terbinafine was also reported to induce flare-up of chronic psoriasis or development of pustular psoriasis. Here we report a psoriatic...
