Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 46-year-old man presented to Bellevue Hospital Center with a widespread, erythematous, pruritic eruption that involved more than 80 percent of his body. The eruption started on his shoulder when he was in his 20s and, over the course of a one-year, spread to involve his face, trunk, and limbs. He was treated by various doctors in China and New York City with pills and creams with minimal benefit. He was not on any medications at the onset of the eruption and was working at a clothing manufacturing company. He has since filed for disability and does not currently work. A review of systems was negative for fevers, chills, arhtralgias, fatigue, weight-loss, worsening of eruption in the sun, enlargement of lymph nodes, oral ulcers, and personal or family history of atopy and psoriasis.
