title: [Cutaneous epithelial necrosis in coma. Study of 2 cases].
abstract: We report two cases of epithelial necrosis in comatous patients. The cutaneous lesions were characterized by erythematous plaques which later evolved to bullous lesions. Histologic examination demonstrated epidermal necrosis with subepidermal blisters, sparse neutrophilic inflammatory infiltrate and, characteristically, eosinophilic necrosis of the eccrine sweat gland coils.
