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.
