Ichthyosis acquired

Seong JJ, Wong TK. A case of acquired ichthyosis developed during cholesterol-lowering treatment. Korean J Dermatol 1997 35 546-50. [Pg.559]

The exact mechanism for this dermopathy is unknown, but it has been speculated that kava may interfere with cholesterol metabolism, leading to a reversible, acquired ichthyosis similar to that seen with the use of lipid-lowering agents such as triparanol (3). Skin biopsies of two recent cases associated with use of the commercially available product have revealed lymphocytic attacks on sebaceous glands, with subsequent destruction and necrosis caused by CD8+ cells (see Section 5) (26). Yet another theory involves interference with B vitamin metabolism or action (27). [Pg.33]
