Leprosy

A chronic infectious disease affecting primarily the skin and peripheral nervous system.

Erythroderma

An inflammatory exfoliative dermatosis involving nearly all of the surface of the skin. Erythroderma develops suddenly. A patchy erythema may generalize and spread to affect most of the skin. Scaling may appear in 2-6 days and be accompanied by hot, red, dry skin, malaise, and fever.

Erythroderma as a manifestation of leprosy.
Baldissera RL, Shwetz GA, Fillus Neto J, Vigo NDR.
An Bras Dermatol. 2019;94(1):89-92.
This report demonstrates that chronic multibacillary leprosy can manifest as erythroderma and thus should be included in the differential diagnosis.

A case report of erythroderma in a patient with borderline leprosy on reversal reaction: a result of the exacerbated reaction?
Miyashiro D, Vieira AP, Trindade MAB, Avancini J, Sanches JA, Benard G.
BMC Dermatol. 2017;17(1):16.
We report a case of a patient with reversal reaction (RR) in borderline borderline leprosy presenting with erythroderma and neural disabilities.

BMC Dermatol. 2017;17(1):16.
This case report highlights the importance of thorough clinical examination of erythrodermic patients in search for its etiology and suggests that an intense and probably uncontrolled leprosy RR can culminate in the development of erythroderma.

Leprosy was successfully treated with WHO's multidrug therapy, plus prednisone for controlling the RR; the erythroderma resolved in parallel with this treatment.

Here we present an unusual case of leprosy and reversal reaction causing erythroderma, and we discuss the underlying immunological mechanisms which could contribute to the generalized skin inflammation.
