ABSTRACT
Netherton syndrome (NTS) is a genetic disorder that predominantly affects the hair and the skin, and it can have a wide variety of presentations. The genetic syndrome is more common with consanguineous parents. Given the rarity and varying presentation of the condition, a few cases have been reported in the literature. We present an unusual case of two incidental diagnoses of NTS in siblings of consanguineous parents, manifesting as erythroderma and other symptoms that were initially diagnosed as pityriasis rubra pilaris and psoriasis in separate visits. Physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion when faced with chronic skin conditions and hair shaft abnormalities that may have been present since childhood to avoid the sequela of inadvertent prolonged or misdiagnosis.
