This review describes eczematous dermatitis, or eczema, a skin disease that is characterized by erythematous vesicular, weeping, and crusting patches; atopic dermatitis, a common chronic inflammatory dermatosis that generally begins in infancy; and the ichthyoses, a group of diseases of cornification that are characterized by excessive scaling. The purpose of this review is to examine the major variants, epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of these dermatologic diseases. Figures depict chronic eczematous dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis to poison ivy, seborrheic dermatitis, nummular eczema, acute eczematous patches, lichenified patches that appear after chronic rubbing of eczematous patches, erythroderma (total body erythema), and marked scaling (acquired ichthyosis). Tables list the diagnostic criteria for atopic dermatitis and the differential diagnosis of atopic dermatitis. This review contains 9 highly rendered figures, 2 tables, and 88 references.

ResumoA dermatite infecciosa (DI) é uma dermatite grave, crônica e recidivante, descrita como entidade distinta por Sweet em 1966, e associada a infecção pelo HTLV-1 em 1990 por La Grenade e cols. Embora a maioria dos casos descritos tenha início na infância, casos de dermatite infecciosa em adultos tem sido relatados. O quadro dermatológico mimetiza condições comuns como dermatite seborreica, dermatite atópica, dermatite de contato, impetigo e micose fungoide. Em países endêmicos para a infecção por HTLV-1, como o Brasil, é imprescindível que a dermatite infecciosa seja lembrada como diagnóstico diferencial, nestes casos. A identificação precoce é importante a fim de evitar adisseminação e proporcionar acompanhamento e tratamento adequados de possíveis complicações associadas ao vírus, como a mielopatia associada ao HTLV ou paraparesia espástica tropical (HAM/TSP), e a leucemia/linfoma de células T do adulto (ATLL).Relatamos o caso de 2 pacientes do sexo feminino com dermatite infecciosa de início na idade adulta. Para enriquecimento do caso, também apresentamos as fotos da filha de uma das pacientes, com mesmo diagnóstico. Abstract:Infectious dermatitis (ID) is a severe, chronic and relapsing dermatitis, described as a distinct entity by Sweet in 1966 and associated with HTLV-1 in 1990 by La Grenade et al. Although most reported cases have onset in childhood, cases of infectious dermatitis in adults have been reported. The dermatological framework mimics common conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, impetigo and mycosis fungoides. In endemic countries for HTLV-1, like Brazil, it is essential that the infectious dermatitis is remembered as a differential diagnosis in these cases. Early diagnosis is important to prevent the dissemination and provide appropriate monitoring and treatment of possible complications associated with the virus, such as HTLV-1 associated myelopathy or tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM / TSP), and Adult T-cell leukemia / lymphoma (ATLL). We report two female patients with adult-onset ID. In order to enrich the report, we also presented the daughter's photos from one of the patients, with the same diagnosis.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition of infancy of unknown etiology. The disorder is usually mild and responsive to therapy. In severe or atypical cases, a variety of other entities should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, psoriasiform-id reaction, fungal infections, and irritant contact dermatitis can be differentiated on clinical grounds. Less common but more serious disorders, such as histiocytosis X, immunodeficiency disorders, and nutritional and metabolic diseases, may be considered in the child whose disease does not spontaneously resolve or respond satisfactorily to local therapy. Laboratory studies including skin biopsy may be helfpul in these cases. Seborrheic dermatitis is uncommon in children after infancy and before puberty. In this age group, scalp scaling is likely to be due to other causes, such as tinea capitis, atopic dermatitis, or psoriasis.
