This report is a study of 40 cases of exfoliative dermatitis with special reference to systemic manifestations. The condition was frequently observed in 3rd to 5th (75 %) decades of life with male to female ratio of 3: 1. The duration of the disease was usually short. In majority of cases, drugs were the precipitating factors. Lymphadenopathy was observed in 70% cases with hepatomegaly in 25% and splenomegaly in 7.5% cases. 37.5% of cases had pyrexia during their illness without any evidence of infection, pointing towards a poor temperature mechanism. Cardio-vascular system revealed hyperdynamic circulation in 20% of cases. All patients had hypoalbuminaemia and 27.5% of cases had oedema of feet.
