“…ACH is often instigated by local trauma or infection to a single digit, which may lead to proximal extension subsequently. The clinical presentation involves small pustules in one or more distal fingers and toes in the acute stage to hyperkeratotic and scaly plaques with continuing pus formation in the more advanced stages [ 3 ]. ACH evolving into generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) has been reported in the literature [ 4 ].…”

Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is an uncommon inflammatory disease manifesting as sterile pustular eruption of the fingers and toes. The disease is of a chronic relapsing nature and is often refractory to treatment. With longstanding disease, osteitis with consequent bone resorption of the underlying phalanges can occur, leading to disability. While the incidence of ACH is rare in children, complications like osteolysis have not been reported previously in this age group. In this paper, we report the case of an 8-year-old boy with severe ACH complicated by bone resorption.

Dermatophytes such as Candida or Pseudomonas often contaminate abnormal nail plates, as in this case …”

“…Nail dystrophy as a sign of an underlying phalangeal osteolysis is a recognized condition occasionally described in the literature . Acroosteolysis or the occurrence of destructive lytic changes on the distal phalanges, can be either a primary idiopathic or familial defect, or a secondary consequence to a broad spectrum of conditions …”
