The development of ichthyosis in adulthood can be a manifestation of systemic disease, and it has been described in association with malignancies, drugs, endocrine and metabolic disease, HIV, infection, and autoimmune conditions.
Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) are a group of potentially lethal adverse drug reactions that involve the skin and mucous membranes of various body openings such as the eyes, ears, and inside the nose, mouth, and lips.

It occurs years (in the Indian variation) or a few months (in the African strain) after the successful treatment of visceral leishmaniasis. It is mainly seen in Sudan and India where it follows treated VL in 50% and 5–10% of cases, respectively. Thus, it is largely restricted to areas where Leishmania donovani is the causative parasite.
