| description | Erythroderma or exfoliative dermatitis is scaling and erythema of skin involving more than 90% of total skin surface area and is a
serious and difficult condition to treat because of large areas of involvement and multiple associated complications. Psoriasis is
an important cause of exfoliative dermatitis and so is adverse drug reaction. Pulmonary tuberculosis, common in India, is usually
ruled out before starting any systemic treatment like immunosuppressants in the latter. Development of tuberculosis in a psoriasis
patient is a challenging situation wherein the clinician has to look for the pros and cons before choosing each step in management
as one can aggravate the other. The condition becomes more troublesome if it is superadded by adverse drug reaction to one of
the Antitubercular (ATT) drugs. Here, authors present a case with psoriatic exfoliative dermatitis, psoriatic arthritis and pulmonary
tuberculosis with adverse drug reaction to Rifampicin from Category 1 ATT; which was identified following a drug-rechallenge test
and eventual management of all the conditions concurrently. |
