About this video

For decades, one patient lived with a skin condition he believed he simply had to endure. By the time he reached a dermatology provider, his disease had progressed to near-total erythroderma, complicated by a hospitalization for sepsis. In this compelling case presentation, Alyssa Ortega, PA-C, walks through the diagnostic questions, competing treatment considerations, and practical challenges of caring for a medically complex patient in a rural community.
