Eosinophilic annular erythema (EAE) is an uncommon acute eosinophilic dermatosis of
unknown etiology. Urticarial papules and plaques as pruritic lesions appear in annular
and arcuate forms on the trunk and proximal of limbs and rarely effect the face. In
Histopathological diagnosis, EAE has typical features including acute dermal
inflammatory infiltrate with abundant eosinophils and lymphocytes around arteries. In
spite of no clear treatment, there is the positive effects of systemic corticosteroid,
hydroxychloroquine and UVB therapy along with recurrences.
Two patients have been elected in the present study. The first patient was a middle-
aged diabetic female with urticarial papules and plaques, around the pelvis and
proximal thighs, that had active borders with improved centers. We started with 400 mg
of hydroxychloroquine and 25 mg prednisone for the patient, which lesions subsided
during the first week. Second patient consulted, was 41-year-old female without a
history of previous illness with four months of painful and pruritic, violaceous plaques on
the back of the trunk. In histopathology, dermal inflammatory infiltrate with abundant
eosinophils was seen in dermis. Corticosteroid and Hydroxychloroquine were
prescribed with the diagnosis of Eosinophilic annular erythema for this patient as well. |
