Erythroderma is the end-stage condition caused by various inflammatory diseases, presenting with widespread generalized coalesced erythema on the trunk and extremities. Erythroderma is not a disease itself, but rather is a symptom expressing erythrodermic condition, which is frequently associated with inguinal lymphadenopathy, chills, and mild fever. The clinical characteristics include sparing the folds of the trunk and extremities (deck-chair sign), and cobblestone-like disseminated grouping prurigo; however, the deck-chair sign is not specific to papulo-erythroderma (Ofuji disease).

Background: Some cases of senile erythroderma tend to be diagnosed as senile atopic dermatitis (AD) based on elevated levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC). However, there are few studies that describe the detailed characteristics of senile erythroderma and senile AD.

Objective: We examined the association of erythroderma with AD.
