Abstract

A 42-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of atopic dermatitis that was refractory to treatment with UV light, oral antihistamines, and high-potency topical corticosteroids. On presentation, he denied any other medical problems and was taking no medicines. His condition improved with the use of cyclosporine; however, this regimen was discontinued secondary to transaminitis due to hepatitis C infection, which was treated with interferon alfa. His atopic dermatitis flared after discontinuation of cyclosporine therapy. A physical examination showed erythroderma involving more than 70% of his body surface area approximately 2 weeks after cyclosporine therapy was discontinued.
