    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Acne fulminans is a rare, severe form of acne vulgaris.
    • It primarily affects adolescent males, presenting with abrupt onset of inflammatory lesions.

    Observation:

    • The case involved a male teenage patient with typical acne fulminans lesions on the back, chest, and face.
    • Systemic symptoms included fever, leukocytosis, elevated sedimentation rate, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, and increased alpha 2-globulin.
    • Intradermal skin tests indicated a decreased delayed hypersensitivity response.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited classic clinical and laboratory findings consistent with acne fulminans.
    • Immunological assessment revealed impaired delayed reactivity.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing acne fulminans and its associated systemic manifestations.
    • Combined systemic antibiotic and topical therapy proved effective in managing the condition.
