[Systemic diseases: evaluation of important laboratory parameters in 3 cases with unusual skin changes].
A whole spectrum of various clinical and laboratory disorders in patients with skin changes, may present systemic disease manifestations. Serological parameters correlate with the progression of the disease. Authors present cases with unusual skin lesions and abnormal laboratory findings, that were presumed to be manifestations of the systemic disease progression. The first case is a report of a patient age 44, female with dermatomyositis that started suddenly from full health with generalized linear bluish dark erythematous lesion like excoriations, periocular heliotrope violaceous to dusky erythematous rash with edema in a symmetrical distribution involving periorbital skin with no pruritus, diagnosed on admission as the case of acute urticarica. In the second report, a 17-year old female was referred to us because of a spread up linear sclerodermia followed by high immunological disturbances. Our third case was a 21-year old female with a systemic lupus erythematous--Rowell syndrome, with skin lesions of erythema multiforme type with some similarities to dermatitis herpetiformis on the first examination.
