We are reporting a case of NS presenting as recurrent erythroderma. [ijhas.in]

Ichthyosis presents at birth with erythroderma and subsequently evolves into ichthyosis linearis circumflexa; hair shaft abnormalities tend to present later. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Bilateral ectropion was present Figure 3: Some pustular lesion and ulceration on sole were present. (Figure 3). Some pustular lesion and ulceration on sole were present. [drikram.com]

• Recurrent Infection

  Infants with more severe NS symptoms are associated with failure to thrive, hypernatremic dehydration secondary to excess fluid loss, delayed growth, short stature, and recurrent infections. [krystalbio.com]

  Other problems associated with Netherton syndrome are delayed growth and development, immune abnormalities, recurrent infections, and intermittent aminoaciduria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Delayed Growth and Development

  Other problems associated with Netherton syndrome are delayed growth and development, immune abnormalities, recurrent infections, and intermittent aminoaciduria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Other clinical findings are delayed growth and development, short stature, and, rarely, intermittent aminoaciduria. Intellectual deficit has been associated in some cases. [orpha.net]

• Eczema

  Some individuals are allergic to foods such as fish and nuts or are prone to hay fever, asthma and eczema-like rashes. [contact.org.uk]

  Most will have a greater likelihood of developing hay fever, asthma and atopic eczema. Patients have high levels of IgE ( allergy antibody ) in their blood and may suffer attacks of angioedema (severe allergic skin reaction) and urticaria. [dermnetnz.org]

• Alopecia

  Using these products may result in severe hair loss and cicatricial alopecia (scarring alopecia). This form of hair loss scars your hair follicles and makes future hair growth less likely. [healthline.com]

  55% of them presenting also eye brows and lashes alopecia; eight out of nine patients with the disease had consanguineal parents; and only one third had relatives with history of atopy. [scielo.br]

  Associated are hair shaft abnormalities, in particular “bamboo hair” also known as “trichorrhexis invaginata”, which may lead to diffuse alopecia of the scalp and loss of eyebrows and eyelashes. [genedx.com]

  […] that are bordered by a double edged scale and coined by Comèl as ichthyosis linearis circumflexa. [1] The hallmark of Netherton's syndrome (NS) is trichorrhexis invaginata, described by Netherton, [1] with pili torti, trichorrhexis nodosa, and diffuse alopecia [ijpd.in]

  Scalp and eyebrows hairs were sparse, rough, brittle, and lusterless with traumatic alopecia on scalp. There was no nail or mucosal involvement. On investigation, complete hemogram, liver, and kidney function tests were normal. [ijdd.in]

• Recurrent Rhinitis

  Patient gave history of recurrent rhinitis since childhood however there was no family history of atopy or similar skin lesions. [e-ijd.org]

• Intracranial Hemorrhage

  The major neonatal complication is the hypernatremic dehydration, which can be fatal as in this patient or complicated by neurologic signs (intracranial hemorrhage) and secondary sequellae. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A diagnostic workup could not reveal any common known cause of pancreatitis, and the cause of pancreatitis would most likely be considered idiopathic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Complete hematologic workup showed moderate anemia at 8.0 g/dL (reference range, 8.0–10.9 g/dL) and peripheral eosinophilia at 12% (reference range, 0%–6%). [mdedge.com]

Laboratory investigations showed normal blood workup, but with an elevation in IgE levels. Examination of hair under light microscopy showed bulging with ball-and-cup formation typical for trichorrhexis invaginata or bamboo hair (Figures 4 and 5). [medscape.com]

Management and treatment Treatment is symptomatic and requires prompt management of the neonatal complications and long-term use of emollients for treatment of the skin disorder. [orpha.net]

The classic treatment consists of emollients, keratolytics and antibiotics, while other forms of treatment are usually not effective. [termedia.pl]

The thinness of the barrier also results in over absorption of chemicals, for example topical medical treatments. Historically one in ten infants dies before their first birthday. Currently there are no proven treatments to cure this condition. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis may be severe in neonates with life-threatening complications and postnatal lethality is high. [orpha.net]

Abstract Deficiency in the serine protease inhibitor LEKTI is the etiological origin of Netherton syndrome, which causes detachment of the stratum corneum and chronic inflammation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology NS is caused by mutations in the SPINK5 gene (5q31-q32) encoding the serine protease inhibitor LEKTI. [orpha.net]

Summary Epidemiology Incidence is estimated at 1/200,000 births. Clinical description Patients generally present at birth with generalized erythroderma and scaling, and failure to thrive. [orpha.net]

This suggests that IL-33 may be involved in the pathophysiology of NS as well as in atopic dermatitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, based on recent reports regarding various pathophysiological mechanisms for both acute pancreatitis and the Netherton syndrome (eg, shearing the 5q locus for the respective gene-associated defects in SPINK1 and SPINK5), we speculate if a possible [unboundmedicine.com]

Further understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of integumentary changes will lead to more effective treatment. [cureus.com]

Ablation of matriptase from LEKTI-deficient mice dampened inflammation, eliminated aberrant protease activity, prevented detachment of the stratum corneum, and improved the barrier function of the epidermis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Since the condition is a direct result of a gene mutation, there’s no current, known way to prevent the condition. But there are many types of lotions and ointments you can use to treat bamboo hair. [healthline.com]
