Severe erythema multiforme with involvement of the mucous membranes has often gone unrecognized or has been reported under different names. American interest seems to have been renewed by the report of 2 cases in 1922 by Stevens and Johnson¹ of what they believed to be a previously unrecognized clinical entity. Since that time cases of the disease under various names have been reported by Wheeler,² Rutherford,³ Smith,⁴ Bailey,⁵ Ginandes,⁶ Chick and Witzberger,⁷ Edgar and Syverton,⁸ Ageloff,⁹ Levy¹⁰ and Murphy.¹¹ In 1944 Lever¹² re

ported 2 cases and thoroughly reviewed the literature. His discussion has tended to clarify the situation, and it is to be hoped that in the future students will recognize the entity, relatively rare and rarely fatal but occasionally leading to loss of vision.
