Abstract

Introduction: Erythroderma is a dermatological condition characterized by the presence of redness and scaling over a large area, covering more than 80-90% of the skin of the body, with consequences that can have a fatal outcome. There are several reasons why this may occur, such as different skin diseases that cause inflammation, negative responses to certain medications and, less frequently, possible causes such as tumors or infections. The latter include scabies, a skin condition caused by parasites that causes intense itching and skin lesions. Objective: to know the clinical presentation of erythroderma caused by a parasitic pathology such as scabies. Clinical case: 45-year-old patient presents with intense itching and skin lesions for three months, erythema and skin desquamation can be observed on most of his body surface. Conclusion: Erythroderma is a medical condition characterized by the presence of redness on more than 90% of the skin of the body. The most common reasons for erythroderma include conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, toxicity skin reactions and malignant blood diseases such as mycosis fungoides. In unusual situations, scabies can cause a generalized reddening of the skin known as erythroderma.
