AI Article Synopsis
- Eccrine chromhidrosis, a condition where sweat becomes pigmented, can develop due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia).
- An adolescent patient with sickle cell disease was documented to have this condition specifically on his hands and feet, while presenting with very high conjugated bilirubin levels.
- This case is notable as it represents the youngest known instance of eccrine chromhidrosis and the first documented case in someone with sickle cell disease.
Article Abstract
Eccrine chromhidrosis can occur secondary to hyperbilirubinemia. We report an adolescent with sickle cell disease who presented with eccrine chromhidrosis on his palmar and plantar surfaces. He had extremely high levels of conjugated bilirubin but no fever. This is the youngest known reported patient with eccrine chromhidrosis and the first in a patient with sickle cell disease.
