Urticaria / AngioedemaTransient swellings and erythema due to vasodilatation and fluid exudation. Manifest by weals that develop rapidly and clear within hours.Can be life threatening esp. when associated with angioedema of the larynx.May take years to resolve.

PurpuraBleeding into the skin (petechiae, purpura, Echymoses)Caused by pathology:I - Inside blood vessel (disorders of coagulationII - Of blood vessel walls (Vasculitides)III – Outside blood vessels (affecting supporting stroma eg: aging, drugs, Vit C deficiency, amyloidosis)

Bullous DiseasesBlisters are circumscribed fluid filled skin lesions. Burns, bullous impetigo, herpes simplex and zoster, severe contact dermatitis and insect bites are common examples.Skin diseases presenting mainly with blisters are relatively rare but may be fatal eg: autoimmune and mechanobullous diseases.

Erythema Multiforme (EM) – Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS)
– Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) Spectrum
EM is a cutaneous reaction pattern to several provoking stimuli including herpes simplex, bacterial infection and drugs. May be idiopathic.
![Page 20: Dermatologic Emergencies Course 393 Prof. Marwan Al Khawajah College of Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816611550346895dd95811/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The target (iris-like) lesions involve the hands and feet and less frequently the elbows and knees. There is now consensus that SJS and TEN are different from EM

• SJS and TEN are severe variants of an identical pathologic process (apoptosis of kerayinocytes induced by a cell-mediated cytotoxic reaction: Haptens vs. Cytokines) and differ only in the percentage of body surface involved.
![Page 25: Dermatologic Emergencies Course 393 Prof. Marwan Al Khawajah College of Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816611550346895dd95811/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
• Both can start with macular and EM-like lesions; however about 50% of TEN evolve from diffuse erythema to necrosis and epidermal detachment.
![Page 26: Dermatologic Emergencies Course 393 Prof. Marwan Al Khawajah College of Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816611550346895dd95811/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

• Rare and life threatening.• Most common in adults more than 40 years• Male = Female• Risk factors : SLE, HIV, HLA –B12• Polyetiologic: Drugs (sulfas, anticonvulsants,
allopurinol, NSAIDS, antibiotics), infections, immunization, chemicals and idiopathic.
![Page 27: Dermatologic Emergencies Course 393 Prof. Marwan Al Khawajah College of Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816611550346895dd95811/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
• Usually start with prodromes: fever, malaise, arthralgias 1-3 weeks after drug exposure and 1-3 days before mucocutaneous lesions. There may be tenderness, itching, burning, pain or parasthesia, photophobia, painful micturition, impaired alimentation and anxiety.
![Page 28: Dermatologic Emergencies Course 393 Prof. Marwan Al Khawajah College of Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816611550346895dd95811/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• Rash starts on face and extremities, may generalize rapidely (few hours/days).
• Scalp, palms, and soles may be spared
• Mucous membranes invariably involved, 85% have conjunctival lesions.

EXFOLIATIVE ERYTHRODERMA SYNDROME (EES)
EES is a serious, at times life-threatening reaction pattern of the skin characterized by:
- generalized and uniform redness- scaling (branny/ lamellar)- fever, malaise, shivers, pruritis, fatigue anorexia and generalized lymphadenopathy- loss of scalp and body hair, nail thickening and onycholysis

• Etiology:- Pre existing dermatosis (psoriasis, 50%eczema, id rxn, PRP, Pf)
- Drugs (eg. Allopurinol, CCB, 15%carbamazepine, cimetidine, gold, lithium, quinidine)
- Lymphoma, Leukemia 10%
- Undetermined (history/histology) 25%
![Page 49: Dermatologic Emergencies Course 393 Prof. Marwan Al Khawajah College of Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816611550346895dd95811/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Acute erythroderma is caused by drugs and is potentially fatalErythroderma has profound effects on the entire body. eg: poikilothermia, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, high output cardiac failure,increased basal metabolic rate,hypoproteinemia, anemia due to reduced levels of iron, folic acid and other vitamins, endocrine, hepatic and renal complications, effects on hair and nails.

• Clinical clues about etiology:
Acute : drugs
Areas of sparing : PRP
Massive hyperkeratosis and deep fissures of palms/soles: Psoriasis., CTCL, PRP
Sparing of scalp hair : Psoriasis, Eczema
Variable erythema and scale thickness/ brownish hue/ large lymphnodes: CTCL

51
Massive scaling of scalp with hair loss : CTCL, PRP
Dusky Red : Psoriasis
Yellow/orange – red : PRP
Lichenification/erosions/excoriations : Eczema
Typical nail changes of psoriasis
Ectropion :CTCL, PRP

Management
Histopathology is not always helpfulHistory and physical examination for clues are importantChest X ray, immunoelectrophoresis, CT scans/ MRI and bone marrow aspirationLymphnode biopsySkin and blood bacterial cultures
![Page 53: Dermatologic Emergencies Course 393 Prof. Marwan Al Khawajah College of Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816611550346895dd95811/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
- Treatment is supportive, including fluid electrolytes and albumin restoration, parenteral nutrition and temperature control. -Be aware of signs of sepsis, renal and cardiac failure.- Watch for deleterious adverse effects of prolonged glucocoticoid therapy.

Topical: Water baths, bland emollients ± topical steroids.
Beware of ↑ absorption of topically applied medications eg: salicylism, methaemoglobinemia.
Be cautious of irritant topicals eg: dithranol, tar
Systemic: Oral glucocorticoids for remission induction but not for
maintenance.
Specific Systemic therapy for the underlying condition.
