Erythroderma and extensive poikiloderma – a rare initial presentation of dermatomyositis: a case report
ConclusionsThis case illustrates a rare presentation of dermatomyositis initially presenting as fever, erythroderma, and proximal muscle weakness and later developing poikiloderma involving more than 90% of the skin. It is important to be aware of this rare presentation to avoid misdiagnosis. With the currently available literature it is not possible to conclude that erythroderma is a bad prognostic factor in dermatomyositis or a predictive factor for a malignancy. Patients have a good response to steroids with a combination of immunosuppressants.
