Disease relevance of Miliaria

• A fleeting dermatitis, Miliaria crystallina, developed in five of the seven subjects at the end of depletion, but disappeared as repletion began [1].
• Skin contact with neoprene poses two dermatological risks: allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and miliaria rubra (i.e., prickly heat) [2].
• We present here a case of miliaria crystallina that developed in a 65-year-old patient on the fifth day after administration of doxorubicin for multiple myeloma in the absence of known predisposing factors [3].

High impact information on Miliaria

• We describe a patient with miliaria profunda who responded to therapy with anhydrous lanolin and isotretinoin [4].
• Aluminum chloride hexahydrate was shown to be an effective agent to treat this unusual condition, but miliaria with exertion secondary to its use may be a limiting factor [5].
• Rare skin disorder complicating doxorubicin therapy: miliaria crystallina [3].
• Of the noncontact dermatitis, 8 were caused by occupationally relevant exacerbation of endogenous eczema, whereas there was one case each of miliaria, frictional dermatitis, and fatal toxic epidermal necrolysis caused by trichloroethylene allergy [6].
• Physiol. 239 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 8): R226-R232, 1980) but to produce miliaria rubra (heat rash) in specific regions of the body [7].

Biological context of Miliaria

• Drop-like, transient blisters of miliaria crystallina may develop with focal intensity of heat within the skin, such as occurs in tropical climates or during febrile episodes [8].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Miliaria

• Miliaria crystallina in an intensive care setting [8].
