On the visceral manifestations of the erythema group of skin diseases (Third Paper.) 1904.

摘要

According to the classification of recent writers under the erythemas-les erythemes of the French-are included, simple erythema, erythema exudativum, herpes iris, erythema nodosum, certain of the pur-puras, urticaria, and angioneurotic oedema. The essential process is a vascular change with exudate, blood, serum, alone or combined. While five or six of the affections just named are described usually as separate diseases they belong to one family, and are characterized by the similarity of the conditions under which they occur, the frequency with which the lesions are substituted the one for the other in the same patient at different times, the tendency to recurrence, often through a long period of years, and, lastly, the identity of the visceral manifestations. In the latter for some years past I have been particularly interested, and in 1895 I published a series of eleven cases, and in 1900 a second series of seven cases. In this paper I shall give a third set of eleven cases, and shall consider the features presented by the entire group of twenty-nine cases.
