Characteristic findings on physical examination Clinical appearance depends on the stage of NAE at presentation.[dermatologyadvisor.com]
We present the case of a 60-year-old man with a history of psoriasis and chronic HCV infection, who developed new lesions of NAE extending from previous elephantine psoriatic plaques on bilateral lower legs.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
RESULTS: Three patients presented with early (acute) lesions and two patients with chronic lesions. The distribution of the lesions was almost exclusively on the dorsae of the feet.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patient 1 A 24-year-old male patient presented with a history of skin lesions on legs since three weeks. Skin lesions were associated with burning sensation.[idoj.in]

Treatment Options Treatment options are summarized in Table I . Table I.[dermatologyadvisor.com]
Treatment of NAE includes supplementation of oral zinc.[idoj.in]
According to previous reports, resolution of NAE has been successfully achieved by treatment of the underlying HCV infection, or the use of oral zinc therapy. Our patient exhibited good response to zinc therapy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis - Gianotti-Crosti syndrome The rash fades in 2-8 weeks with mild scaling. If hepatitis B is present, the liver takes between 6 months and 4 years to recover fully. Sometimes there is persistent hepatitis and long term viral carriage.[checkorphan.org]
However, NME presents as a hallmark clinical sign of glucagonoma syndrome. 2 Its early recognition allows for early diagnosis of the tumor and leads to a better prognosis.[dovepress.com]
HLA-DRB1, complement factors, and both antismooth muscle and antinuclear antibodies. 4 There have also been data to support a correlation between viral load and specific viral genotypes and NAE. 5 It is unclear if the presence of NAE relates to HCV prognosis[jddonline.com]
Because of its rarity (1 case/20-200 million population) late diagnosis is frequent which leads to a poor prognosis.[thedoctorsdoctor.com]
The kidneys, eyes, skin, and muscles are particularly affected by this disease process, which is the principal factor determining the prognosis of individuals with diabetes mellitus. 410 Microangiopathy may be involved in the pathogenesis of the pigmented[plasticsurgerykey.com]
Etiology The cause of NAE is unknown, though the metabolic derangements from an HCV-infected liver are believed to play a role.[dermatologyadvisor.com]

Several theories have been proposed regarding the etiology and pathophysiology of NAE including hypoaminoacidemia, hyperglucagonemia, hypoalbuminemia, and low serum zinc levels.[dermatologyadvisor.com]
The pathophysiology of NAE with respect to HCV is unclear.[jddonline.com]
Until now, the exact pathophysiologic mechanisms for many of the skin changes associated with zinc deficiency are unclear.[bioline.org.br]
The patient should be told to monitor for the stigmata of liver disease in order to prevent its progression. The patient’s skin must be monitored for secondary infection of skin lesions.[dermatologyadvisor.com]
[…] fever Causes - Gianotti-Crosti syndrome The specific viruses causing Gianotti-Crosti syndrome include: * Hepatitis B infection * Epstein Barr virus (the cause of glandular fever) * Enterovirus infections * Echo viruses * Respiratory syncytial virus Prevention[checkorphan.org]
Recognition of this condition is important as early intervention of undetected HCV infection with antivirals may decrease the morbidity and prevents the clinical outcomes such as chronic hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.[idoj.in]
Perhaps, concomitant immunosuppression may prevent development of overt skin manifestations or perhaps zinc deficiency in these patients is never severe enough to produce symptoms.[bioline.org.br]
