It might be Emphysema ,a serious breathing illness.
There is a skin condition rarely heard of these days Erysipelas ,not sure who filled such forms in ,there are often some spelling mistakes ,so perhaps medical orderlies,as a Dr would spell correctly.
As it says it next to Distinctive marking I see why your immediate thought was a skin condition .
You often hear people say “ Empysemia “ and “Prostrate gland “,for Prostate gland, so perhaps a simple spelling mistake .
The patient would not usually die from the skin condition but Emphysema can contribute , putting strain on the heart .
