Lamellar ichthyosis: a case report
Ichthyoses are divided into four groups according to clinical, histopathologic and genetic findings. Lamellar ichthyosis is one of them. The incidence of lamellar ichthyosis is believed to be approximately 1 per 100,000 to 300,000 live births.

Early Neonatal Death in Harlequin Ichthyosis: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Harlequin ichthyosis is a rare, life‐threatening neonatal disorder often mistaken for collodion baby. We report a 37‐week neonate with severe ectropion, eclabium, and thick fissured scales who died on Day 2 despite optimal care. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges, intensive management needs, and poor prognosis of Harlequin ...

A Rare Familial Case of Harlequin Ichthyosis in an Infant of a Diabetic Mother: A Diagnostic and Management Challenge in Low and Middle Income Settings. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Harlequin Ichthyosis (HI) is an extremely rare, autosomal recessive, and highly fatal condition in neonates. It is especially difficult to control in the low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) due to the low rate of prenatal screening, cultural reluctance, and lack of access to neonatal intensive care.

ALOXE3 missense variant in a Chihuahua with autosomal recessive ichthyosis. [PDF]
Abstract Ichthyoses are a heterogenous group of inherited disorders that are characterized by excessive scale formation on the skin. We investigated a Chihuahua with severe scaling since age 12 weeks. The scaling was generalized and involved the entire body and legs. The paw pads were mildly hyperkeratotic.

A 6-year-old African boy with a history of a collodion membrane presented with scale in a generalized distribution and flexural accentuation. Large, brown, polygonal scales were present on the forehead, lateral aspects of the face, and extremities. The nature of the scales and the lack of erythroderma in this patient are consistent with a mild form of ...

Stratum Corneum Ceramide Abnormalities in Atopic Dermatitis: Pathophysiology and Implications for Disease Management. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The stratum corneum, as the outermost layer of the skin, functions as a critical barrier that maintains cutaneous hydration and systemic homeostasis. Among its structural lipids, ceramides constitute the most abundant and diverse component. These molecules are essential for the formation of lamellar structures that secure barrier integrity ...

The pH of the skin surface and its impact on the barrier function [PDF]
The `acid mantle' of the stratum corneum seems to be important for both permeability barrier formation and cutaneous antimicrobial defense. However, the origin of the acidic pH, measurable on the skin surface, remains conjectural.
