SUPERFICIAL EPIDERMOLYTIC ICHTHYOSIS

Alternate names

SUPERFICIAL EPIDERMOLYTIC ICHTHYOSIS Is also known as ichthyosis bullosa of siemens, sei

Description

Superficial epidermolytic ichthyosis (SEI) is a rare keratinopathic ichthyosis (KI; see this term) characterized by the presence of superficial blisters and erosions at birth.

Most common symptoms of SUPERFICIAL EPIDERMOLYTIC ICHTHYOSIS

  • Edema
  • Erythema
  • Ichthyosis
  • Palmoplantar keratoderma
  • Abnormal blistering of the skin

EXFOLIATIVE ICHTHYOSIS

Alternate names

EXFOLIATIVE ICHTHYOSIS Is also known as ichthyosis, bullous type, ichthyosis exfoliativa, autosomal recessive exfoliative ichthyosis

Description

Exfoliative ichthyosis is an inherited, non-syndromic, congenital ichthyosis disorder characterized by the infancy-onset of palmoplantar peeling of the skin (aggravated by exposure to water and by occlusion) associated with dry, scaly skin over most of the body. Pruritus and hypohidrosis may also be associated. Well-demarcated areas of denuded skin appear in moist and traumatized regions and skin biopsies reveal reduced cell-cell adhesion in the basal and suprabasal layers, prominent intercellular edema, numerous aggregates of keratin filaments in basal keratinocytes, attenuated cornified cell envelopes, and epidermal barrier impairment.

Most common symptoms of EXFOLIATIVE ICHTHYOSIS

  • Edema
  • Hyperhidrosis
  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Erythema
  • Ichthyosis
