Dermatogenic enteropathy

Abstract: SUMMARY Steatorrhoea has been found in a large proportion of patients with inflammatory dermatoses, especially eczema and psoriasis. It is due to the rash itself and disappears rapidly after topical treatment of the skin. This particular enteropathy, unlike that associated with dermatitis herpetiformis, is not accompanied by an alteration in the stereomicroscopic appearance of the small bowel mucosa. The mechanism is not known. It is important to differentiate dermatogenic enteropathy from gluten sensitivity w… Show more

“…'Dermatogenic enteropathy' is the malabsorption of fat and other substances induced by eczema and psoriasis. Its incidence and severity is proportional to the extent of the rash; it responds rapidly to topical treatment of the rash alone and may recur in successive attacks of skin disease (Marks and Shuster, 1965;Marks and Shuster, 1970). In patients with eczema and psoriasis who have dermatogenic enteropathy there is no particular stereomicroscopicfeature associated, although the incidence of a predominantly convoluted mucosa is slightly higher in this group than in the patients with eczema and psoriasis as a whole (Fig.…”

“…Its incidence is, however, extremely low in patients presenting to dermatologists with eczema or psoriasis and we ourselves have only found it twice in over 200 such patients . The jejunal mucosa has now been examined in patients with eczema (Shuster and Marks, 1965), i^"thyosis vulgaris, Brocq's ichthysoiform erythroderma, acrodermatitis enteropathica (Fry, McMinn, and Shuster, 1966), psoriasis (Shuster, Watson, and Marks, 1967), rosacea (Watson, Paton, and Murray, 1965;Marks, Beard, Clark, Kwok, and Robertson, 1967), pemphigoid (Marks and Shuster, 1969), subcorneal pustular dermatosis (Fry, Keir, McMinn, Cowan, and Hoffbrand, 1967;Marks and Shuster, 1970), and dermatitis herpetiformis (Marks, Shuster, and Watson, 1966;van Tongeren, van der Staak, and Schillings, 1967;Fraser, Murray, and Alexander, 1967;Fry et al, 1967;Verbov and Barkhan, 1967;Marks, Whittle, Beard, Robertson, and Gold, 1968;Bendl and Williams, 1968).…”

“…It has been disputed whether the non-specific enteropathy frequently found in psoriatics is linked to that particular disease or belongs in the 'dermatogenic enteropathy' group (Barry et al, 1971;Roberts & Preston, 1971;Shuster, 1968;Marks & Shuster, 1970).…”
