Stryker-Halbeisen syndrome (Garold Vernon Stryker)
Associated persons:
William A. Halbeisen
Garold Vernon Stryker
Description:
Obsolete term for an association of macrocytic anaemia with vitamin B complex deficiency dermatosis, marked by a patchy, superficial, scaly and vesicular erythroderma, and intense pruritus on face, neck, and upper chest. Other symptoms include weakness and fatigue. In advanced stages, the patches loose their evanescent character and become confluent and the vesiculation tends to disappear. The skin then becomes oedematous and slightly thickened.
