Ide Eruption
Ide Eruption implies a distant, localized or generalized reaction due to sensitization to the products of an active, primary, fungus infection. According to some authorities, actual dissemination of the fungus is responsible for the ide eruption.
An example of a localized ide reaction is the vesicular, cheiropompholyx-like eruption on the palms of the hands caused by ringworm of the toes. A deep-seated, inflammatory, trichophyton infection produces follicular, papular lesions on the trunk and limbs. These lesions are rarely vesicular and erythematous.
Ide eruption tends to subside spontaneously when the primary focus is cured. In practical therapeutics, it is a red signal against energetic treatment of acute tinea.
Treatment of Ide Eruption
Treatment of Ide Eruption consists of:
- Treatment of the primary focus with lotion silver nitrate during the day and miconazole with prednisolone cream in the evening.
- A course of griseofulvin F.P I Ketoconazole I Flucoanzole.
- A short course of systemic prednisolone and antihistaminic.
