Abstract:
We report on a young man having suffered from infiltrated, scaly, hyperkeratotic, erythematous skin eruptions since his birth, varying in its course. Histologic examination revealed erythrokeratodermia. Therapy with Etretinate led to rapid regression; on keeping the maintenance dose for a year, we did not observe any recurrences. Light and electron microscopical investigations were carried out both before and 7 weeks after treatment.
