SINCE the first description by Darier¹ in 1889 more than three hundred and fifty papers have been published dealing with Darier's disease, a relatively rare condition, the cause of which, in spite of numerous investigations, remains undetermined. New knowledge of vitamin deficiency states brought promise of a fresh attack on the problem. Peck, Chargin and Sobotka (1941),² having noted the resemblance between the appearance of the skin in naturally occurring vitamin A deficiency and Darier's dyskeratosis, treated a patient with vitamin A and reported improvement. Since then many other patients have been similarly treated, many with benefit.
