Abstrak

Netherton syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive ichthyosis caused by serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal 5 mutation, characterized by congenital ichthyosis, trichorrhexis invaginata, atopy, high serum immunoglobulin E levels, and hyper eosinophilia. The demonstration of bamboo hair by microscopy is used as a method to diagnose Netherton syndrome. We report a rare patient with Netherton syndrome confirmed by genetic analysis and protein expression studies who had normal hair and was successfully treated with low dose isotretinoin, without any adverse events.
