Risk factors of bloodstream infection in erythroderma from atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and drug reactions: a retrospective observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, and drug reactions associated with erythroderma are frequently complicated by infections. However, bloodstream infection (BSI) have received less research attention.

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with BSI in patients with erythroderma.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 141 erythroderma cases. Eleven cases were identified as having BSI. Clinical records of both BSI and non-BSI groups were reviewed and compared.

Results

BSI was diagnosed in 7.80% (11/141) of erythroderma cases, with a breakdown of 7.14% in AD, 2.00% in psoriasis, and 17.14% in drug reactions. Notably, all positive skin cultures (7/7) showed bacterial isolates concord
