Section 1: Case Overview & Problem Statement
Case Problem Statement
This patient is a 13-year-old female with a PMH of asthma and environmental allergies
who reports 2 weeks of a progressively worsening itchy rash on the dorsal aspects of her
hands. She also reports overall dry skin that started about 7 months ago and worsens in
the winter, use of scented lotion, and new stacker rings. Denies exposure to
environmental/plant-based irritants, new lotions, soaps, detergents, fever, cough, and
other URI symptoms. Physical examination shows erythematous, flaky, and dry skin with
poorly demarcated borders to the dorsal aspects of the hands and thickened, leathery skin
on the bilateral antecubital fossae. Auspitz sign is negative on all affected areas.
Case Context
This i-Human Graduate Premium Sick Visit Case (H&P + Dx) is set in an outpatient clinic with laboratory
capabilities. The learner must conduct a thorough history and physical examination, synthesize clinical
findings, and formulate an accurate diagnosis with an evidence-based management plan.
Learning Objectives

• Distinguish atopic dermatitis from contact dermatitis, psoriasis, and other common dermatoses
• Apply Hanifin & Rajka diagnostic criteria to confirm the diagnosis
• Formulate a stepwise, evidence-based management plan aligned with AAD guidelines
