Atopic dermatitis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Scratching the skin causes vasoconstriction and intensifies pruritus, resulting in erythematous, weeping lesions. Eventually, the lesions become scaly and lichenified. Usually, they’re located in areas of flexion and extension, such as the neck, antecubital fossa, popliteal folds, and behind the ears. Patients with atopic dermatitis are prone to unusually severe viral infections, bacterial and fungal skin infections, ocular complications, and allergic contact dermatitis.

Dermatitis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Atopic skin lesions generally begin as erythematous areas on excessively dry skin. In children, such lesions typically appear on the forehead, cheeks, and extensor surfaces of the arms and legs; in adults, at flexion points (antecubital fossa, popliteal area, and neck).
During flare-ups, pruritus and scratching cause edema, crusting, and scaling. Eventually, chronic atopic lesions lead to multiple areas of dry, scaly skin, with white dermatographia, blanching, and lichenification.
Common secondary conditions associated with atopic dermatitis include viral, fungal, or bacterial infections, and ocular disorders.
Because of intense pruritus, the upper eyelid is commonly hyperpigmented and swollen, and a double fold occurs under the lower lid (Morgan-Dennie folds, Morgan folds, Dennie pleats, or Mongolian lines). Atopic cataracts are unusual but may develop between ages 20 and 40.
Kaposi’s varicelliform eruption, a potentially fatal, generalized viral infection, may develop if the patient with atopic dermatitis comes in contact with a person who’s infected with herpes simplex.

Wilson's disease:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Clinical manifestations of Wilson’s disease usually appear between ages 6 and 20, although signs and symptoms can occur as late as age 40. Symptoms result from damage to the body tissues caused by progressive copper deposition and vary according to the patient and the state of his disease. The characteristic symptom of Wilson’s disease is Kayser-Fleischer ring — a rusty brown ring of pigment at the periphery of the corneas. (See Kayser-Fleischer ring.) Fever may also occur in acute disease or with intercurrent infection. Other clinical features depend on the area affected.
❑ Liver (including spleen): hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, ascites, jaundice, hematemesis, spider angiomas, and thrombocytopenia, eventually leading to cirrhosis or subacute necrosis of the liver
❑ Blood: anemia and leukopenia
❑ Central nervous system: “wing-flapping” tremors in arms, pill-rolling tremors in hands, facial and muscular rigidity, dys-arthria, unsteady gait, and emotional and behavioral changes
❑ Genitourinary tract: aminoaciduria, proteinuria, uricosuria, glycosuria, and phosphaturia
❑ Musculoskeletal system (in severe disease): muscle wasting, contractures, deformities, osteomalacia, and pathologic fractures.
