Skin rash with respiratory distress: A report of two cases

Abstract

Skin is the largest organ of the body. Skin rash is not an uncommon manifestation, and sometimes, can give clue to the diagnosis of a systemic disease. Here we present two cases which presented with a typical skin rash and respiratory distress with extensive lung involvement, and ultimately diagnosed to be a case of Langerhans Cell histiocytosis.
