• Malnutrition

  The increased risk of sepsis occurs as a result of both the abnormal skin barrier and the associated immune defects that are only in part owing to malnutrition. [clinicalgate.com]

• Testicular Disease

  Several male patients with recessive X-linked ichthyosis have been reported to have testicular diseases, and it is suggested that this may be related to the absence of testicular steroid sulphatase activity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, rapid recurrence of the abnormal cornification was observed after treatment of the fungal infection. Some possible mechanisms regarding the effect of fungi on hyperkeratinization are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment with moisturizers improved skin dryness similarly in all groups, but TEWL behaved differently: it decreased slightly in the AD/IV group and increased in the XLRI group, especially after urea treatment. [diva-portal.org]

Treatment for both of these conditions mainly consists of skin moisturizers and possibly topical retinoids. [amboss.com]

Better treatments are urgently needed. How could this research help? “We would like to find a better treatment for X-linked ichthyosis,” says Professor O’Toole. [action.org.uk]

Management and treatment Treatment consists in hydrating and softening the skin with the use of lubricating bath oils and emollients containing humectants and keratolytics (e. g. urea, lactic acid, and glycolic acid). [orpha.net]

Prognosis RXLI represents a benign form of ichthyosis. The ichthyosis is life-long but hyperkeratosis and scaling may improve with age. Life expectancy is normal. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Prognosis This condition requires continuous care throughout a lifetime. Properly treated, in most cases it is a cosmetic problem. There are a small number of lethal forms, such as harlequin fetus. [encyclopedia.com]

Etiology and pathogenesis X-linked ichthyosis results from mutations of the STS gene encoding steroid sulfatase (arylsulfatase C), particularly deletions (90% of patients). [clinicalgate.com]

Etiology X-linked ichthyosis is an epidermal lipid metabolism anomaly due to inactivating mutations or deletions in the steroid sulfatase STS gene (Xp22.3). [orpha.net]

The regular formation of oxidation products of cholesterol observed here, if matched by equivalent molecular events in vivo, may have important implications for epidermal pathophysiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although the Registry is closed to new enrollment, it is still maintained in order to provide information related to understanding the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of ichthyoses. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Presumably, as a result of this distribution pattern, continued enzymatic degradation of substrate occurs in normal epidermis, thereby preventing excessive accumulation of cholesterol sulfate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
