Dermatitis Herpetiformis. Presented by DR. J. GARDNER HOPKINS.

T. M., a man aged 45, presented for Dr. George Heustis Fondé, has had for two months a generalized eruption, most profuse on the backs of the shoulders, the extensor surfaces of the arms and the buttocks. The eruption is made up of red scaling patches in which are groups of papules and an occasional bulla, 0.5 cm. in diameter.

The results of general physical examination and numerous laboratory studies were normal except that abscessed teeth were found. These were removed, without any effect on the eruption.

The case is presented for suggestions for therapy.
