Eritema ab igne (EAI) “kızarmış cilt sendromu”, “ephelis ab igne ”, ve “ephelis ignealis” olarak da adlandırılan bir retiküler eritematöz pigmentli dermatozdur. Kızılötesi radyasyona tekrarlayan ve uzun süreli maruz kalmaya bağlı olarak gelişir. Genellikle iyi seyirli olan bu cilt lezyonlarının aile hekimleri tarafından erken tanınması ve önlenmesi önemlidir. Bu olgu sunumunda, elektrik sobası kullanımına bağlı göğüs ön duvarında, her iki kol ve bacakta yaygın eritema ab igne gelişen bir hastayı sunmayı amaçladık.

Erythema Ab Igne: A Case Report

Erythema ab igne (EAI) is a reticular erythematous pigmented dermatosis also defined as “red skin syndrome”, “ephelis ab igne,” and “ephelis ignealis”. It develops due to recurrent and sustained exposure to infrared radiation. It is important for family physicians the early recognition of these benign skin lesions and prevent exposure. In this case report, we aimed to present a patient who developed erythema ab igne on the anterior wall of the chest, both upper and lower extremities, due to using an electric heater.
