Article Synopsis
- Erythroderma (exfoliative dermatitis) leads to significant metabolic changes, particularly an increase in energy expenditure.
- This increase in total energy expenditure (TEE) is influenced by factors like basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and thermic effect of food.
- The review discusses the mechanisms affecting energy balance in erythroderma and proposes dietary management strategies to address the condition's impact on health.
Erythroderma (exfoliative dermatitis), first described by Von Hebra in 1868, manifests as a cutaneous inflammatory state, with associated skin barrier and metabolic dysfunctions. The annual incidence of erythroderma is estimated to be 1-2 per 100 000 population in Europe with a male preponderance. Erythroderma may present at birth, or may develop acutely or insidiously (due to progression of an underlying primary pathology, including malignancy).
