Antibiotic

An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Antibiotic

Chills

Chills is a feeling of coldness occurring during a high fever, but sometimes is also a common symptom which occurs alone in specific people.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Chills

Ciclosporin

Ciclosporin, also spelled cyclosporine and cyclosporin, is a calcineurin inhibitor, used as an immunosuppressant medication.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Ciclosporin

Corticosteroid

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Corticosteroid

Dermatoses of pregnancy

Dermatoses of pregnancy are the inflammatory skin diseases that are specific to women while they are pregnant. Impetigo herpetiformis and Dermatoses of pregnancy are pregnancy-related cutaneous conditions.

Diarrhea

Diarrhea (American English), also spelled diarrhoea or diarrhœa (British English), is the condition of having at least three loose, liquid, or watery bowel movements in a day.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Diarrhea

Epidermis

The epidermis is the outermost of the three layers that comprise the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Epidermis

Erythema

Erythema is redness of the skin or mucous membranes, caused by hyperemia (increased blood flow) in superficial capillaries.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Erythema

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is the rate at which red blood cells in anticoagulated whole blood descend in a standardized tube over a period of one hour.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate

Esophagus

The esophagus (American English) or oesophagus (British English, see spelling differences; both;: (o)esophagi or (o)esophaguses), colloquially known also as the food pipe, food tube, or gullet, is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Esophagus

Fever

Fever or pyrexia in humans is a body temperature above the normal range due to an increase in the body's temperature set point in the hypothalamus.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Fever

Histology

Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy or microanatomy, is the branch of biology that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Histology

Hypoalbuminemia

Hypoalbuminemia (or hypoalbuminaemia) is a medical sign in which the level of albumin in the blood is low.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Hypoalbuminemia

Hypocalcemia

Hypocalcemia is a medical condition characterized by low calcium levels in the blood serum.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Hypocalcemia

Hypoparathyroidism

Hypoparathyroidism is decreased function of the parathyroid glands with underproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH).

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Hypoparathyroidism

Hypovolemic shock

Hypovolemic shock is a form of shock caused by severe hypovolemia (insufficient blood volume or extracellular fluid in the body).

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Hypovolemic shock

Impetigo

Impetigo is a bacterial infection that involves the superficial skin.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Impetigo

Iron-deficiency anemia

Iron-deficiency anemia is anemia caused by a lack of iron.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Iron-deficiency anemia

Leukocytosis

Leukocytosis is a condition in which the white cell (leukocyte) count is above the normal range in the blood.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Leukocytosis

List of skin conditions

Many skin conditions affect the human integumentary system—the organ system covering the entire surface of the body and composed of skin, hair, nails, and related muscle and glands.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and List of skin conditions

Malaise

In medicine, malaise is a feeling of general discomfort, uneasiness or lack of wellbeing and often the first sign of an infection or other disease.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Malaise

Neutrophil

Neutrophils (also known as neutrocytes, heterophils or polymorphonuclear leukocytes) are a type of white blood cell.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Neutrophil

Papillomatosis

Papillomatosis is skin surface elevation caused by hyperplasia and enlargement of contiguous dermal papillae.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Papillomatosis

Parakeratosis

Parakeratosis is a mode of keratinization characterized by the retention of nuclei in the stratum corneum.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Parakeratosis

Pemphigus vegetans

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a long-lasting, noncontagious autoimmune disease characterized by patches of abnormal skin.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Psoriasis

Seizure

A seizure is a period of symptoms due to abnormally excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.

See Impetigo herpetiformis and Seizure
