Approximately 60% of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) cases lack a clear explanation for their cause. It has a deep emotional impact on the patient and her family. Couples often experience anxiety, frustration, and feelings of despair. While Immunotherapy remains unproven for addressing unexplained RPL, growing evidence suggest high uterine natural killer (uNK) cell activity preventing embryos from implanting and developing properly in the uterus. Intralipids, which are mainly used as a part of total parenteral nutrition, have shown in research to deactivate natural killer cells in a woman's body. Based on these principles, intralipid infusions have been tried in a single or multiple doses to help with conception and to maintain the pregnancy in cases of RPL. We have successfully used a single dose of intralipid infusion in cases of unexplained RPL with excellent outcomes at an affordable cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Erythroderma is a dermatological emergency presenting with generalized erythema and scaling involving >90% of the body surface. 1 There are various causes of erythroderma, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, phytophotodermatitis, pityriasis rubra pilaris, pemphigus foliaceus, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and drug eruptions. 2 However, erythroderma induced by dermatophytosis is encountered rarely. We, here, describe a case of erythroderma developed secondary to extensive dermatophytosis., (© Journal of the Association of Physicians of India 2024.)
