Abstract
Hill's atopic erythroderma is uncommon and is one of the most severe forms of atopic dermatitis, characterized by a universal skin lesion. It most often develops in children under 3 years of age, the frequency of registration is 1.6-8.7% of all cases in this age group, although it can also occur in adolescents.The spread of the island-inflammatory pathological process is accompanied by constant painful itching, symptoms of intoxication and impaired thermoregulation, skin manifestations of vegetative dystonia, lymphadenopathy, often secondary infection, and often occurs with an exacerbation of concomitant allergic respiratory diseases. This article describes the clinical manifestations of Hill's erythroderma that occurred in a 13-year-old child with a burdened personal and family history of atopic diseases against the background of a traumatic situation. During systemic antibiotic therapy, hyposensitizing and antihistamine therapy, local treatment with glucocorticosteroids and emollients, positive dynamics was noted with a gradual regression of the skin pathological process. It is very important to recognize atopic dermatitis as the cause of erythroderma, especially in patients with late onset of the disease, in order to treat it quickly and prevent relapses, educating the patient on an adequate lifestyle and treatment of exacerbations at the first symptoms.
