Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis is an uncommon but distinctive acquired ichthyosiform dermatosis characterized by persistent dark, scaly, papules and plaques that tend to be localized predominantly on the central trunk.[3]
Eponym
[edit]Henri Gougerot and Alexandre Carteaud (1897 - 1980) originally described the condition in 1927.[4] The cause remains unknown, but the observation that the condition may clear with Minocycline[5] turned attention to an infectious agent. Actinomycete Dietzia strain X was isolated from one individual.[6] Other antibiotics found useful include azithromycin, fusidic acid, clarithromycin, erythromycin, tetracycline, and cefdinir.[7]
