| Abstract;Four patients with pityriasis rubra pilaris are reported. The diagnosis in each was based upon well-recognized clinical features. Two of them, a mother and son, had the disease since childhood and were marked by relative remission in spring and exacerbation in autumn. Moderate to severe pruritus was a common dominator. Erythroderma was a presenting feature in one case. Although histopathology was considered imperative, it only supplemented the clinical expression. Vitamin A in heavy dosage, supplemented by vitamin E and stanozolol in tandem, was the mainstay of treatment. (author abst.) |
