Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, the sibling would have bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma

Agree. Moreover, there are some nuclear inclusion bodies in last picture, Parvo virus-like, I cannot grasp.

must we think of  SAM syndrome here, where epidermolytic hyperkeratosis can be seen. genetic studies can help in final diagnosis

Severe skin dermatitis, multiple allergies and metabolic wasting (SAM) syndrome is a rare life‐threatening inherited condition caused by bi‐allelic mutations in DSG1 encoding desmoglein 1. The disease was initially reported to manifest with severe erythroderma, failure to thrive, atopic manifestations, recurrent infections, hypotrichosis and palmoplantar keratoderma
