We present a 46-year-old man with a greater than 15-year history of erythroderma. A definitive diagnosis has not been established. The differential diagnosis is discussed.

Exploration of circulating metabolic signature of erythrodermic psoriasis based on LC-MS metabolomics.
Exp Dermatol
May 2024
Department of Dermatology, State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is a rare and serious disease, with unclear causes, prompting a study to analyze metabolic changes in affected patients compared to healthy individuals.
- An analysis of serum samples from EP patients identified 98 significantly altered metabolites, including lower levels of certain amino acids and higher levels of others, suggesting disruptions in amino acid and glycerophospholipid metabolism.
- The findings highlight that specific metabolic changes, particularly low levels of L-tryptophan, could help understand EP's development and may lead to new treatment strategies.
Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris: A Multicentric Case Series of 65 Spanish Patients.
Actas Dermosifiliogr
September 2024
Dermatology Department of the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, Madrid, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- PRP (Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris) is a rare skin condition with unclear causes and no established treatment guidelines, making it challenging for healthcare providers.
- A study involving 65 patients, the largest European series on PRP, revealed that it primarily affects men, with an average age of 51, while older patients (average age 61) often present with more severe erythrodermic forms.
- The results showed that most younger patients and non-erythrodermic adults managed their condition with topical corticosteroids, whereas a significant number of erythrodermic patients needed biologic therapy, taking about 6.5 months for a complete response.
Arabidopsis 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenases/C4-Decarboxylases Are Essential for the Pollen and Embryonic Development.
Int J Mol Sci
October 2023
State Key Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Subtropical Agro-Bioresources, College of Forestry and Landscape Architecture, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China.
Article Synopsis
- The biosynthesis of C sterols from squalene involves the C24-alkylation process and the removal of three methyl groups, notably two from the C4 position.
- A bifunctional enzyme called 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/C4-decarboxylase (3βHSD/D) is essential for two specific demethylation reactions that impact growth and can lead to disorders in humans and yeast.
- Using CRISPR/Cas9, researchers created knockout mutants in Arabidopsis to study two genes, discovering that these genes are crucial for male gametogenesis and embryogenesis, as their loss leads to pollen lethality.
Effects of Triheptanoin on Mitochondrial Respiration and Glycolysis in Cultured Fibroblasts from Neutral Lipid Storage Disease Type M (NLSD-M) Patients.

Neutral lipid storage disease type M (NLSD-M) is an ultra-rare, autosomal recessive disorder that causes severe skeletal and cardiac muscle damage and lipid accumulation in all body tissues. In this hereditary pathology, the defective action of the adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) enzyme induces the enlargement of cytoplasmic lipid droplets and reduction in the detachment of mono- (MG) and diglycerides (DG). Although the pathogenesis of muscle fiber necrosis is unknown, some studies have shown alterations in cellular energy production, probably because MG and DG, the substrates of Krebs cycle, are less available.
