VESICULAR AND BULLOUS DISEASES OF THE SKIN—Cytologic Diagnosis

摘要

A new technique, first described by Tzanck, for diagnosis of vesicular and bullous diseases of the skin by cytologic examination of material firmly scraped from lesions has a number of advantages over excision of biopsy specimens. It takes relatively little time, is painless, simple and inexpensive. The method also has value in research and teaching.
