AB  - In  the  neonatal  period,  disorders  may  sometimes  present  with  hyperkeratosis  and  desquamation  of  the  skin.  The  differential  diagnosis  for  hyperkeratosis  and  desquamation  in  the  neonatal  period  is  broad  and  includes  infectious,  genetic,  inflammatory,  immunodeficiency,  and  metabolic  causes.  Rarely,  these  disorders  may  also  present  with  erythroderma,  or  generalized  skin  erythema  affecting  at  least  90%  of  the  body  surface.1  Scaling  is  a  commonly  associated  symptom  of  erythroderma.  Although  the  frequency  of  hyperkeratotic  and  desquamating  disorders  in  the  newborn  period  is  unknown,  the  incidence  of  neonatal  erythroderma  has  been  estimated2  to  be  0.11%.
