A rare case of erythroderma with extensive tinea infection in a tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Erythroderma, or generalized exfoliative dermatitis, is a disease characterized by erythema and scaling of greater than 90% of the body's surface. The consequential dysmetabolism is potentially life threatening. A detailed history is necessary to identify and treat the underlying cause of this dermatitis. We are presenting a rare case of erythroderma with extensive tinea infection in 50 years old Indian male.
