A patient comes to the emergency department with erythroderma with fever and general malaise. On examination, the nails show the presence of nail pitting and distal yellowish areas in an oil stain. What is the primary disease that caused the condition?
Any of the 4 options can be the cause of erythroderma, although the description of nail lesions highly suggestive of psoriasis makes this diagnosis the most likely.
Cutaneous lymphoma.
Atopic dermatitis.
Psoriasis.
Ichthyosis.
