The condition is congenital though it may not be sufficiently pronounced to attract attention for a year or more after birth. There are various grades of the deformity. The mildest is described as xerosis or xeroderma. In this there is mere harshness and branny scaliness of the skin more marked on the extensor surfaces of the extremities and associated perhaps with some conic epidermic elevations about the mouths of the hair follicles on the outer aspects of the arms and thighs. Next in intensity is ichthyosis simplex in which the skin is rough, dry, slightly lustrous and crinkly, with the upper layers of the epidermis cracked to form pea to fmgcr nail sized, mica-like, polygonal scales which adhere at their centers but loosen and often warp outward at the edges. The plate-like scaliness recalls the appearance of a fish skin, as the name indicates, but the scales of ichthyosis never ovcrl::l.o. The lines and furrows of the skin are more wldely separated and deeper than normal. In more marked cases the scales are thicker and often discolored a dirty or greenish gray or brown, and regions seldom affected by the milder forms, such as the face, scalp, and flexor surfaces of the joints, may be more or less involved. But even with a universal ichthyosis the skin of the face is usually only moderately changed, so that it appears somewhat shiny and tense, abnormally dry, and in places crackled and rough. Occasionally there is a more o r less pronounced ectropion. The scalp is furfuraceous and the hair fine, dry and lusterless. Ichthyosis hystrix is a very rare form in which occur circumscribed patches of dark colored, verrucous, spiny or bark-like horny masses of thickened epidermis. This type is never universal. In any case of ichthyosis the skin deformity increases somewhat from childhood to adu lt life, and then remains about stationary. Ichthyosis simplex nc\"cr develops into ichthyosis h;ystrix. As a rule, the condition causes no subjective symptoms other than occasional slight itching, though sometimes the elasticity of the skin is so impaired that painful fissures are formed in the flexures about the joints. No cause for ichthyosis is known other than heredity. The malformation frequently occurs in various members of a family. It may skip one or more generations. There are many cases in which a hereditary influence cannot be discovered. DIAGNOSIS: Ichthyosis is so nearly unique that if its characteristic features are borne in mind the diagnosis connot be difficult. TREATMENT: Prolonged treatment may do much to impro\'C th e texture of the skin. Frequent warm baths with the free usc of sapo moJlis arc to be recommended to remove the crusts. After each bath the ski n may be rendered pliable by inunction with a bland ointment, such as adeps lanac hydrosus, to which may be added from two to eight per cent. of salicylic acid. Salves which contain a high percentage of water are the most serviceable. ��100 SYPHILIS TERTJARIA Cicatrices palati mollis.

Dermatitis vcncnata is a generic term which des ignatt·s a gr~,.•at munht•r of dermic irritations l'<llhl'cl by contact with cldctcrious suhstanl'cs, among which arc many common drugs such as arnica. mercurial._, iodoform, turpentine.•, tar, etc., many cht•mical n•ag<..·nts. numerous dye-stuffs and matc.·rial:; h:uullcd in trade. liut the most prolific soun:c nf the di:o.order in this country is the emanatiun of certain plants especi:dly those of the rhus genu.,, the rhus toxicmkndron or poison-ivy, the rhus di\'t•r..;iloba or poison-oak, the rhus ,-ent·nata or JH)ison-sumac, -dogwood or -elder. and mhn .species of less common occurrence. lmJi,·iclu:ds cUTer in "l1'H.''-'JHibility, many can handle the plants with im~ punity while others sufTt.•r from the slighh:'t touch. The parts of the t'kin involved arc the exposed por· tinns which come in conlat.:t with th~ h.•;ln.•.;, and the regions to which the poison may be tran~fcrn:d hy the hands. The symptoms develop u.;ually aftl•r a icw hou r s. A feel"ng- of warmth and itd1ing lirst :tttrac-ts the patient's attention to the :tfft"cted an•a which then appears erythematous and slig-htly swnllcn.

TREATMENT : Tht :-.uh~:ancc which causes the irritation is soluble in alcohol and is precipitated by lead accwte. then·forr hathing the exposed regions of the skin with a s:\turatcd :dcnholic solution of lead acetate will destroy the poison and pre\'<'11t the dc.:\"clopmt•nt of a <krmatais.

DIAGNOSIS: The locali7.atinn. the associated ,·aricc~, the protean and oh<.·n multiform character of the l'arlv lesions, the brawny induration, pigmentation ancl ·tendency to ulceration in the later stages. together with the other charartcri·qics of the various form~ of eczema. elsewhere tlc ..crihed, tend to make the (liagno~is usually ,·ery easy. TREATMENT: The treatment is suhstantia.ll}' that of the corresponding lf:sional or secondary typt..~ in other regions, combined with the treatment of the varicec;. (Sec E . erythema· tosum, E. ruhrum. E. sc1uamosum .) The t.·sscntial thing is rclid of the- hlood stagnation. That alnn_c may effect the cure of a mild case, and without It all other mcasun·s arc sometimes of no avail. The best method is to put the leg at rest hori;r.ontally. \Vhen that i~ unft.•asihle th e leg slwuld be wrapped from the tocs to the knee or higher with a two~inch wide. cotton clastic webbing bandage. To protect the handagc from tht· salves, lotions or the ec:zema~ tous discharge it is bt·st to cover the leg smoothly \\"ith layers of gau1.r, and a <i.he('t of oih·d ~ilk if ntc· essary, suJ•I'ortt·cJ by a stocking. and then apply the bandage C'\'t.'nly over all. The l"lrl'S ... urt should be moderate and uniform, and cau ... c no discomfort. The dressing should he renewed once a da}· or oftener. ��26 ECZEMA VESICULOSUM Eczematous n:siclcs arc not infrequently ac;sociatcd with other lc::;ions of eczema. but u-.ually in small numbers ami oitcn in a transitional stage of dc\'elopmcnt, as vesica-papules or vesica-pustules. An eruption composed entirely of vesicles, or in which the vesicles predominate sufficiently to warrant the title eczema vesiculosum, is not uncommon, but is usually so acute in its onset and rapid 111 its evolution that the typical groups of this primary lesion arc comparatively rarely seen. They occur upon any part of the skin, but arc most frc<JUCntly encountered upon the face. particularly of infants and young children, also behind the ears and upon the Hcxor surfaces of the limbs, especially near the joints. Upon a more or less intensely hyperemic base develop rapidly immense numbers of pin· point to pin~head sized, clear vesicle~. discrete but closely packed together in groups or forming a con· tinuous sheet of eruption. Their outbreak is preceded by tingling and burning and accompanied by itching, which is usually intense. lf the vesicles arc uot ruptured by rubbing and ~cratching they soon burst spontaneously, except in those regions in whic:h the epidermis is very thick. as upon the volar surface of the hands. Crops of new vesicles may follow the first. In early cases upon close inspection are to be made out minute superficial losses o f tissue at the sites of the ruptured vesicles. From these closely studded points oozes a clear mucilaginous fluid that dries to form a yellow glaze or peculiar light gummy crusts. \Vhcn the crusts are removed a raw, tumid. weeping suriace is exposed. About the diffuse borders of a patch, less often intermingled with the vesicles. a few papules o r vesico-papules are often to be found. and the contents of some of the more persistent vesicles may become turbid or purulent. Resolution rarely occurs sufficiently early to prevent palpable infiltra- tion of the skin, though the roursc of vesicular eczema is not long. This type of the di~easc, however, may be but the Jin;t stage of an exceedingly protracted attack of the malady, in which case it C\"Oives usually into eczema rubrum. As a rule, after several days or WCl•ks the subjective symptoms ab:Hc, the discharge ceases, the color fades, scaling takes place and the skin returns gradually to normal, although for some time the new epidermis may retain a red and lender look. DIAGNOSIS : Dermatitis z:eueuatu. is usually easily differentiated by the larger size of the vesicles, their slight tendency to rupture, the presence of occasional bullae, the non~sticky character of the exudate, the subjective symptom of burning rather than itching, the history of exposure to contact with rhus plants or the application of irritating substances and the rapid involution upon rcmo\·al of the cause. \Vhen in. impeti~o co11Jagiosa a large area becomes crusted the history of the lesions from which the crusts developed or the presence of a few discrete lesions will scn•e to differentiate the disease from the· crusted stage of eczema vesiculosum. The vesicles and pustules of impl'tigo arc pea to dime size and tend to dry to crusts without rupturing. Itching is slight or absent. Involution is rapid and there is usually evidence of autoinoculation and contagil"ln. TREATM E NT: The crusts should he gently removed and a lotion, containing 6 per cent each of calamine and zinc oxid and 3 per cent of boric acid, sopped on several times a day. ..\s soon as the most acute stage is passed a paste composed of two parts each of zinc oxit! and starch and four parts of vaselin is to be applied. This should be renewed once or twice a day and the old salve removed with sweet oil. The use of soap aud water is scrupu· lously to be avoided. ��28 EPITHELIOMA E pithelioma superficial•.

The organism gains entrance through some breach in the skin, which, however, may be so smaH as sometimes to escape detection. The appearance of the ra<h is prrceded for about a dny by malaise, hendach~. anorrxia and even vomiting. chillinrs<~~ or chills, and fever. Then is noticed n •lightly swollen. coin-sized patch. rtd and peculiarly smooth and !ithining. "'dth a well-defined and more or Je~s ele\'ated border. The Je-;ion is hot and tender and cau!oles throbbing pain, tingling, burning or mild pruritus. The redness. which at first is rosy but 4100n become~ a brilliant crimson. faclt."s momentarily under pressure. but leaves a ytllow stain. The patch may re1ain its original s1ze. but far more commonly it ~preads peripherally.

It begins, as a rule, on or ncar the nose, starting frequently JUSt ms1tlc the nostril, from fis!:iures or infected ,·ibrbsa foll1cles, and spreads usually over both hal'"es of the face. hs progress is sometimes arrested at the hair line of the beard or scalp. If the cars and eyelids are affected they become very edematous and painful. The lips may be greatly swollen and e\·crtcd. Serious and often fatal complications ari~e when the inflammatory process spreads onto the mucous membrane, as of the eye, or through the mouth to the larynx and lungs; or when by deep invasion the meninges arc invoh•cd. A., a rule however lt is only in the aged. the debilitated or 111 ,·cry young infants that a fatal termination need be ar>r>rehended. Causes of death other thnn tho>e mentioned arc exhaustion from prolonged fe\"er or toxemia, metastatic infections or septicemia. One attack predisposes to another, but frequent recurrence in the ~amc region indicates usually that the original portal of entry remains open. DIAGNOS I S: Dt>rmat;lis t·ol~lltii<J and cn·thtmalous u:tma both differ from erysipelas in that ·they are unaccompanied by c<m-.titutional s_ymptom!J, their lesions are less brilliant in color and lack the peculiar smooth, shining :mrfacc and sharply detined, elevated border. They start frCflUcntly fro m sc,·eral points. The lesions of dermatitis \"cnenata do not creep and the patchu of eczema are often scaly and scratch marked and usually itch intensely. TRE AT M E NT: The general symptoms require symptomatic treatment. Locally c-ompresses wet with 95 per cent alcohol or a 25 po1 cent aqueous solution of ichthyol somctimes seem to help. An ichthyol ointment may be preferred. ��31 ERYTHEMAINDURATUMSCROFULOSORUM.

After a period of more or less marked asthenia, often accompanied hy at- tacks of headache, dizziness. epigastric pains and diarrhea, the cutaneous eruption appears usually late in the spring or some time in the summer. The distributi on of the rash is nearly always sym metricaL The backs of the hands are ilwariably affected; the other regions that may be involved in combinat ion with the ha nds arc the forearms. the dorsal surface of t he feet, the face in women and children only, the neck and very rarely the extensor surfaces of the knee s and t> lbows, and the scrotum On the hands the rash stops abruptly at the border of the volar surfaces. Often it does not extend upon t he fingers beyond the first phalanges. The finger nails a r e never affected. The lesions usually advance onto the lower third of the forearms and may encroach upon their anterior surfaces. The intensi ty of t he skin eruption bears no relation to the in tensity of the other symptoms, and involution of the skin lesions may begin at any stage of th eir development. The rash fi rst appears as coin~sized patches of cry· thema which spread and coalesce. In a few days the epidermis begins to desquamate. On the hands only th e fissures between the flakes sometim-:-s extend to the cori um and producC somewhat pain ·ul rhaga~les. Ordinarily th e only subject ive symptoms are shght burning and a feeling of tension , bu· these arc in~ creased by exposur e of the skin to th~ sun and air. \\"ith a very intense dermatitis the hands may be swollen and vesicles and bullae anU secondary erosions and crusts may form. The redness gradually becomes darker and b rowner from the deposition of pigment in the skin. On the for earms the marginal zone of the dermatitis is occasionally several shades lighter t han the backs of th~ _hands. At this stage the skin usually 31J))ears thickened, the lines may he deeper and the skin liclds much more prominent t han normal. The horny layer is often hyperplastic and the skin feels ha rsh and rough. These changes become more and more marked in succeeding at~ tacks. In six to ten weeks, or with the ad\·cnt of cool weather, all the symptoms abate and the cutaneous lesions may disappear entirely, but thev usually recur each succeeding spring wit h evcr-increaS· ing severity. J\fter repeated attacks the ski n may be left smooth and glossy or wrinkled and parch~ m ent-like as in idiopat hi c atrophy. There is often considerable loss of cu taneous se nsibility. Thus with seasonal remissions and exacerbations the dis· case may last for yc.>ars, the general symptoms grow~ ing gradually more severe until the patient becomes greatly emaciated and despondent. Hebetude, chronic mania. melancholia or demen ti a may d e~ \'Clop, with spinal symp toms such as incoordination of movement. tremors, great muscular weaknes'i or paralysis. The average duration of life is five yt.'ars though patients sometimes s urviv e for ten or fifteer~ years. The cause of the disease is not known. I t is fostered by prh·ation and poor hygiene and in the great majori ty of cases t he patients have consumed la rge quantities of d ecompos<'d or fcrmcrte<l corn. The disease rarely occurs in in£ancy. DIAGNOSIS: l';Jot s_o t~ntc~ th e typ e of .t h~ enlJ~tion as its pectlllar d1stnbut10n and assocmt10n w1 t h men tal. nervous and intestinal symptom~. make the diaqnosis comparatively easy. TREATMENT: In early mild cases the outlook is favorable. There arc no specific rem edies. Good nourishing food in good sur· roundings ~nd the .administration of tonics, particu· larly arsen:c and tro n. ar e the e!lisent!als of treatment. Locally the affected skin should be covned wit h a bland salvt. and protected from the light. ��P ELLAGRA Pellagra is an endemic, chronic, non-contagious, systemic disease characterized by recurrent symptoms referable to disturbances of the central nervous system and the digestive tract, and by peculiarly distributed skin lesions of an erythemato-squamous and pigmentary character. After a period of more or less marked asthenia, often accompanied by attacks of headache, dizziness, epigastric pains and diarrhea, the cutaneous eruption appears usually late in the spring or some time in the summer. The distribution of the rash is nearly always symmetricaL The backs of the hands are invariably affected; the other regions that may be involved in combination with the hands arc the forearms, the dorsal sur£ace of the feet, the face in women and children only, the neck and very rarely the extensor surfaces of the knees and elbows, and the scrotum. On the hands the rash stops abruptly at the border of the volar surfaces. Often it does not extend upon the fingers beyond the first phalanges. The finger nails arc never affected. The lesions usually advance onto the lower third of the forearms and may <'ncroach upon their anterior surfaces. The intensity of the skin eruption bears no relation to the intensity of the other symptoms. and involution of the skin lesions may begin at any stage of their de,·elopment. The rash first appears as coin-sized patches of erythema wl1ich spread and coalesce. In a few days the epidermis begins to desquamate. On the hands only the fissures between the flakes sometimes extend to the corium and produce somewhat painful rhagades. Ordinarily the only subjective symptoms arc slight burning and a feeling of tension. but these are increased by exposure of the skin to the sun and air. With a very intense dermatitis the hands may be swollen and vesicles and bullae and secondary erosions and crusts may form. The redness gradually hecomes darker and browner from the deposition of piAmcnt in the skin. On the forearms the marginal zone of the dermatitis is occasiona1ly several shad~s lighter than the backs of the hands. At this stage the skin usually appears thickened, the lines may be deeper and the skin fields much more prominent than normal The horny layer is often hyperplastic and the skin feels harsh and rough. These changes become more and more marked in succeeding attacks. In six to ten weeks, or with the advent of cool weather, all the symptoms abate and the cUlaneous lesions may disappear entirely, but they usua11y recur each succeeding spring with ever-increasing severity. Aher repeated attacks the skin may be left smooth and glossy or wrinkled and parchment~like as in idiopathic atrophy. There is often considerable loss of cutaneous sensibility. Thus with seasonal remissions and exacerbations the disease may last for years, the general symptoms growing gradually more severe until the patient becomes greatly emaciated and despondent. Hebetude, chronic mania, melancholia or dementia. may develop, with spinal symptoms such as incoordination of moYcmcnt. tremors, great muscular weakness or paralysis. The average <Juration of life is five years, though patients sometimes survive for ten or fifteen years. The cause of the disease is not known. It is fostered by privation and poor hygiene and in the great majority of cases the patients have consumed large quantities of decomposed or fermented corn. The disease rarely occurs in infancy. D IAGNOSIS: Not so much the type of the eruption as its peculiar distribution and association with mental. nerv· ous and intestinal symptoms. make the diagnosis comparatively easy. TREATM ENT: In early mild cases the outlook is favorable. There arc no specific remedies. Good nourishing food in good surroundings and the administration of tonics, particularly arsenic and iron. are the essentials of treatment. Locally the affected skin should be covered with a bland salve and protected from the light. 64 ��66 PITYRIASIS ROS E A Synonyms: Pityriasis m ac ulata et circin ata; Herpes tonsurans maculosus. Pityr iasis rosea is an acute mildly inflamm:ttory disc::ase of the sk10 characterized by an eruption of ~mall, rose.rcd, slightly elevated maculcs, many of which slowly increase to coin-sized round or oval patches. After a lesion has attained a diameter of about half an inch its central portion becomes dull yrllow or salmon colored, while the slightly ele'"·:Hed border remains a brighter red. The epidermis O\'cr the yellowish middle part is dry and shiny and crinkles easily wh en the patch is subjected to slight lateral compressio n. There is nearly ah.,.·nys a tlne furfuraceous deS<JUamation from the surface of the lesion, more marked toward the periphery. Not in· frcc 1uently a collar of small gray scales remains attaclu:U just at the junction of the yellowish center and the pi11k border. Large maculcs often clear up entirely m the middle. Contiguous lesions may coalr .. ce and form irregularly outlined patches in which the fused borders sometimes, though rarely, form reticulated pattern~. Most of the lesions cca .. e to increase in diamrtrr in about a week, some much sooner; they do not all reach the same stage of de\'clopmcnt. K ew lesions continue to appear, rapidly for a few days or more slowly for a couple of weeks. The lesions arc exceedingly supcrfacial and there is rarely any palpable infiltration of the ~kin , though clllorcsccncu located in warm. moist regions, as in the axillae, beneath the hanging breasts or about the genitals, may become somewhat thickened, but ne\"cr abraded or covered with necrotic membranes. The usual distribution of the rash is upon the trunk; that is, upon the chest, back and shoulders, and especially on the side• of the thorax and about the clavicles. Lesions arc not infrequently present upon the neck, arms and thighs, but they rarely appear upon the face, scalp, hands or below the knees. On the back and sides of the chest the o\·al lesions are often roughly arranged in series along the course of the ribs, with their long axes inclined in the same threction. Occasionally, but by no means in every case, there occurs a fairly large primary effiorescencc, a so-called herald spot, upon some par t of the body, usually on the trunk, which is followed in four to twelve days by the general eruption. T he rash persists for three to six weeks or longer, acquiring gradually a more brown. ish tinge. The affection sometimes causes a mod· crate amount of itching, but usually only when the skin is moi~t with perspiration. There are no other subjective symptoms. The disease occurs predomi~ nantly among young individua ls and is rare in the aged. T he cause is unknown. DIAGNOSIS: T he pink ri ng lesions w ith t he salmon-colored parchment-like centers a re almost pathognomonic. 1n syphilis 111arrdosa, papuiO-SIJUtliiiOSI.I or circinata the ellloresccnces are frequently present on the hands or face and are of a more uniform size and a less bright red color a nd a r e nearly a lways associated with other manifestations of !>)'phili~. Psoriasis has a different distribution and its 5cales arc larger and far more plentiful. Ec:~ma stborrhoicum is a chronic disease; the lesions, when numerous on t he body, arc pn•scnt also on the scalp and usually on the face. The sternal and interscapular regions a r e particularly affected. The scales a r e t hick and greasy. 1 riclwp!J)•tosis corporis doe.s not spn·ad so rapidJy nor O\"tr such wide areas and the fungu'i can h< found easily with the microscope. TRE ATMENT: Pityriasis ros~a r~CO\'Crs spontant·ously and treatment does not srcrn to have any markf!'c.l effect. A 4 to 8 per cent sulphur ointment is usually prescribed. A 1 per cent carbolic acid lotion may be used to a llay the itching. ��67 PITYRIASIS VERSICOLOR Synonyms: Chromophytosis ; Tinea versicolor; Dermatomycosis microsporina seu furfuracea. P ityriasis versicolor is a vegetable parasitic dis ease characterized by a rash consi~ting of brown· ish yellow or yellowish brown sharply circumscribed small spots or irregular broad patches, that arc almost imperceptibly furfuraceous and occur chiefly 4 on the upJ>Cr portion of the trunk. The number of maculcs varies from a few to several hundred. Only the edges are sometimes very slightly elevated above the level of the skin. The small spots arc a lmost circular, but they spread slowly and coalesce to form larger patches of irregular outline li ke a contour map. Occasionally islands of normal skin are included in an affected area. New ~pots arise just beyond t he border of the larger patches. ~lany months may elapse before the rash attains conspicuou s dimensions. It continues to increase almost imper ceptibly for years or decades :\nd disappears spontaneously only in old age, when for some rcason the skin ceases to furnish suitable nourishment for the fungus. T he scaling may be hard to detect in a patient whose skin is naturally moist or when it is wet with perspiration. but a slight scraping of a lesion with the finger nai l wilt demonstrate that the corneous layer is easil y separable from the rete. and the abrasion at the same time removes the brownish discoloration, showing that the fungus nou rishes in the upper layers of the epidermis. T he disease is exceedingly rarely seen upon the uncovered portions of the body, ancl beneath the clothing it has its favorite regions. The breast and u pper abdomen, back, neck :md shoulders arc t he parts most constantly affected. T he flexor surfaces of the arms or the axillae, the scrotum, inner sides of the th ighs, mons veneris or the popliteal spaces may be involved in extensive cases. The distribution is usually, but not necessarily, symmetrical. The disease is rare befor e puberty and after middle life. It attacks inc.lividuals of either sex and appar ently w ithout regard to their habits of personal cleanliness, but it seems to prefer the skin or tho~c who perspire free ly. Th e disease is contagious, but the causative organism, M icrosporon furfur, like aJI the other parasitic fungi. is incapable of growth upon e\'ery skin, and repeated intimate contact will fai l to convey the disease to a person who is not susceptible. As a rule, there a re no subjective symptoms, though occasionally m ild itching may be complained of when the patient is warm or pcrSJ>iring. DIAGNOSIS: No matt er how closely the disease may resemb le chloasma, -z.·itili.go, syphilis pigmeutosa or a fading roseola , it can be distinguished readily by the fur furaceous scaling or the ease with wh ich the pigmented epidermis can be abrased. The heaps of conidia and masses of interl acing myceli um cannot be O\'erlookcd in a microscopic examination of a few scales in a drop of liquor potassae. TREATMENT : The patient should bathe daily and scrub the affected parts with soap an d warm water and t hen app ly a 25 per cent solution of sodium hyposulphite. The spots disappear in a few days, but the treat· ment is to be continued for some time, as the disease is very prone to recur. ��85 SYPHILIS PRIMARIA. Sclerosis syphilitica Synonyms: Chancre; Hard chancre. Spirochat:t:t palhda finds its w:w into tht" system by rnocubtion .\her a period of incubation that may last for two to ten w~eks but is usually about three, :a the point of entry the first evidence of syphilis ari~cs and is the chancre. About one week after the appearann.• of the primary lesion on the p(·nis the inguinal glands become discretely and painlessly t.•nlargcd and hard. As a rule the chancre starts as a macule, scratch or erosion, beneath which a papule soon forms and increases in size to that or a finger nail. It is usually surrounded by a dark red arcola. The !li.Urface may be dry and crusted with byers of exfoliate(l epidermis or it may be superficially or Jctply ukcrated. Most often 11 is merely ~br~ded . polished atal raw looking or ~lightly moist and partly covered by a gray film of ~dh<rent pseudomembrane. The most marked, constant and typical characteristic of the chancre is its induration. Surrounding or underlying the surface lesion is an extended or more often a sharply circumscrihed region of superficial or dcop infiltr~tion This '"u~lly be· comes palp~hle the fifth to the tenth day after the appearance of the chancre and reaches its maximum 111 another week when the infiltrated ti~~tu.• may be of a lmost cartilaginous hardness. The infiltration may remain long after any ulceration has healed, even lor several months. though gener~lly both the ulceration and the induration disappear in four to .,jx weeks ancl the glandular swelling subside~ soon a£tcrwards. The chancre does not leave a !!lear unless it has been de<ply ulcer~tcd. In mtn threefourths of ~II genital chancres are locat<d on the c<rvix of the ptnis. on th< glans n<ar th< frenum, or on the margin of the preputial opening. The others art at or ahout the meatus or upon the skin of the peni"'. !icrotum or groin. The chancre i~ usually single: twn or more.· may be acquired at the same time, but it is unusual for o n e chancre to produce others by auto.inocul~tion. DIAGNOSIS: S<condary or mixc..•d infection may effectually obliterate all the characteristics of a syphilitic sore-, and a non. specific herpetic uosion or a chancroid may at times clo!H.'Iy rc..,cmblt.· a typical chancre. A leSIOn which develops h.•ss than five days after exposure to con· tagion is not a chancre even if ~yphilis was ac<(Uired at that time. A sore which appears more than ten days after the la't coitus is probably a ch~ncre. However in no case is it justifiable to start constitu. tional syphilitic treatment until Spirochaeta pallida can be identified in the ~ecretion exprc!"...,rd from the sore, or un le~~ Hcondary ~yphilitic lf~ion~ art present to confirm the diagnosis. TREATME NT: The chancre heals promptly when the general mercurial treatment if\ begun. UsuaJiy thr only local treatment required for an uncomplicated chancre is cleansing with S031l and water and dusting with calomel. If the sore u lcerates iodoform may be used or a wet dressing of one to three thousand mercuric chlorid As regards the use of arsenic in the treatment of syphilis. it wiii require many yea rs to determine whether or not certain arsenic compounds which are now being exten!;ively substituted for mercury, are a5 harmless in themsr1ves and as certain in results as the old and well tried remedies. ��89 SYPHILIS SECUNDARIA. Synonyms: Syphilis circinata. Syphilis circinaria ; Syphiloderma annulare. . \s. a rule syphilitic papules are len t icular and perSI"\l 111 that shape without tendency to assume any other, but occasionally crescentic or annular lesions arc seen. most commonly in the neighborhood of the naso-labial folds or about the mouth and on the forehead.

Syphilis p apulosa mucosa e oris. Synonym s: Mucous patch; P laques opalines. ~fucou~ patches a r e the most constant lesion of secondary syphilis. They occur on the mu cous surfaces especially of the mouth, as superficial ulcerated infiltrations covered with a grayish nccroric mcmJ,rane, and are t o be regarded as flattened abraded papules. They may be found upon any par t of the oral mucous membrane sometimes in large numbers. though generally there are only two or three. They are usually very slightly elevated, sharply bordered. of various sizes. discrete or confluent, and more or less irregular in outline, with an appearance like that produced by penciling the mucous membrane with sih•cr nitrate. The patches often have a pinkish rod border. When they occur at the angles of the mouth they are liable to he fissured. As the result of treatment, or sometimes spontaneously, the grayish membrane may become loose and easily detached, leaving an abraded and raw looking surface. ~Jucous patches occur with the earliest skin rashes and persist unless treated, and although they yield readil y to constitutional remedies they are ve r y prone to recur, especially in hard drinkers and inveterate smokers, even in the tertiary period. They probably constitute the first stage in the development of some cases of leucoplakia. The lesi on~ arc slightly pain£ul when brought in contact with solid iood or wi t h hot and irritating beverages. DIAGNOSIS: Spirochaeta pall ida abounds in the mcmhrane and excretions of the mucous patch. As the latter is commonly only one of a group o£ syphilitic symptPms the diagnosis is rarely difficult. The aphthous sores frequently seen in the mouth, associated with digestive disturbances. may be distinguished by their segregation, small size, acute sensitiveness, and evanescent character. T REATM E NT : The mouth is to be ke1>t clean. Smokin~ should be prohibited. In addition to the general mercurial treatment it is well to cauterize the patches occrasionally with silver nitrate or to recommend painting them two or three times dail y with a ten per cent. solution. A mild antiseptic and astringent rnouth wa..,h may be prescribed. ��97 SYPHILIS SECUNDARIA Syphilis papulo-squamosa. Tht palms are usually in\'oh·cd in all tht gtneral !ttcondary rashes except the earlier ro:;eola. \\'hen the macular rash docs mcJude the palnh the le!'ions tht:re tend to become papular and pcrsi~r afttr the general rash has faded. The palms are not •nfrequcntly alone the sites of relapsing secondary erupuons, which may be identical wtth the earlier papular syphilid but are more often unilateral and p rone to coalesce with the formation of irregular crescentic and serpiginous patches and tracts. indistinguishable from the tubero-squarnous and tuberoSl·rpiginous palm3r and plantar le:t•ons of the teruary period. The appearance of the ~c1uamous palmar syphilid is almo:;t h t i symmetrical, in\'Ohing both early papulopathognomonic. palms. On ac· count of the thickness of the epidermis the papules attain only slight elevation and remain rather ill dcline<l peripherally. They are the color of raw ham. Each soon becomes covered with a dry shnvelcd broken film of epidermis which i!t rul>hcc.l off tirst. at the center of the papule _and leaves a nm of parually detached cptdcrmts wuh a loose, elevated, usually ragged edge directed inward. The early palmar papular rash is somewhat obstinate, slower to resolve spontaneou~ly and more resistant to treatment than the general eruption. DIAGNQ. SIS: There could be no difficulty in diagnosing t he early palmar papulo-squamous syphilid, even if it were not associated with other syphilitic manifcsta· tions. The later diffuse form' may resemble ecze. ma. Their differential diagnosis is considered under the tubero-serpiginous palmar syphilid and the tU· bero-squamous plantar syphilid. TREATMENT : The early palmar syphilid:, disappear under general mercurial treatment. Local measur es arc of no special advantage. ��107 SYPHILIS TERTIARIA Syphilis tubero-squamosa.

A syphilitac ulcer is the sequel of a pustulocrustaceous, gummatous or tubercular syphilid. 1t is found therefore mo!St often upon the favorite sites of those three lesions. namely the face. especially about the nose, the forehead, legs and genitalia. Often the origm of an ulcer cannot be ascertained from its appearance. The round or irregular more superficial ulcer met with comparatively early in the disease and in poorly nouri~hed and anemic imh· viduals is usually a pustulo-crustaccous lesion from which the cru st has been cast oJI by increased suppurat ion. The deep ulcers are generally from gummatous deposits. The ulcers arising from the tubercub.r syphiloderm have the same tendency to segme ntal grouping and circinate configuration that the tubercular lesions themselves exhibit. \Yhen this feature is marl,cd the lesions arc ca11cd ulcero~cr piginous. Ulcers usually tra,·cl slowly over lhe skin by healing at one side whi le they advance at the other. The healin1t margin is often concave, the advancing convex and elevated by a r idge of coalescent tubercles, upon which narrow zone of infiltration the u1cer constantly encroaches. The area traver~ed is marked by soft scar tissue, or when the ulceration is very superficial. mere ly by bro\vnish pigmentation. The base of the ulcer is covered by a grayish yellow, purulent slough which may dry to form a crust. Jt is unusual fo r such a lesion entirely to heal spontaneously, although almost invar iably it responds rapidly to specilic constitut ional t reatment. As a rule syphilitic ulcers are not at all painful, and only slig htly t ender. DIAGNOSIS : Traumatic u/crrs have a history of injury and arc acute and high ly inflam matory, irregular in shape. and heal rapid ly under simple dressings. A tubercu/dus 1dctr is usually superllcial. irregular, sluggish with comparatively little. th in discharge under clea!l dressings; it arises frequen t ly from caseous glands or diseased bone. and presents sinuses, milky anemic granulations, and soh .mdcrmined edges. Its scars are not in frequently keloidal. Lupous ulcers start earl ier in life, are superficial and incomparably slower in development, the edges are brighter red, softer and ofu.•n undermined, and a1>ple-jell y nodule3 are frequently to be found; the scars are more dif· fuse, tough and deforming. An t/lilllcUomatous ulcer starts from a pimple. wart or keratotic patch, is usually a single lesion o n the face, a nd its shar p border is almost invar iably in som e part typically hard, everted and waxy-look ing, with dilat ed capil !aries cr ossing it. TREATMENT: In addition to the adm inistration of m er cury an d potassium iodid local t reatme nt may be employed. Ulce rs should be kept clean and dusted with calomel, or co,·ered with a ftvc to ten per cent. ammoniated mercu ry ointment. ��109 SYPHILIS TERTIARIA Syphilis ulcerosa nasi. Syphilitic ulc~ration of the nose is a not uncom · mon late tertiary manifestation. It is tht· SC<IUc:l of either fliffu~c or circum.,.cribed gummatous inliltration, though the latter, that is the dbtinct gummalou-. tumor, is much more rare than the former. It i~ unusual to He either Jc:-;ion hdore ulceration has occurred, probably because being painless and starting freclttently un the inner wall of th .. nasal c:wity the process does not attract attention until ulceration supervene-.. Gummata of the external nose exhibit predilection for the alao and septum. Beginning in the !-tUbmucous or subcutaneous tissue they spread and invohe cartilage and bone, and unless promptly and energetically treated cause marked permanent deformity. The de~truction pro· duced by a circumscribed node is much less than that inctdent to the breaking down of a diffuse intlltratlon. The latter extends rapidly and after cau~ing perichondritis. and periostitis interferes with the circulation to such an extent that necrosis en~ su~s comparatively early. The slough often appears to extrnd wide of the original infiltration. \\'hen the ulceration is deep and the hone ha!\ become involved the nasal discharge is frequently extremely offensi\"c. Non-specific inflammation and ulceration often accompany the ~C(IUCStration and may obliterate the characteristics of the typical syphilitic ulcer. DIAGNOSIS: The h istory nr presence of other ~pccilic lesion:-; or scars sometimes aids in the diagnosi:-; \\'hen there is perforation of the septum the disease is a lmost certainly syphilis. although very exceptionally tuberculosis may produce the •amc result. Luf'~·tu ;t/crrs begin at an earlier age. progress very much more ~lowly :1nd never atta ck the bone. The syphilitic ulcer is most frequently confused with ~pit/ar/ioma, although as a rule the.: distinction is not difficult. The cancerous ulcer s:arts from a pimple, wart, mole or scudy patch :md dc\'clops slowly at first. It has an uneven tloor and a linn, everted, waxy, telangiectatic be rder. The very rare case~ in which the margin of the ')'!Jhilitic ulcer counterfeits the rolled edge of the epithelioma can he differentiated by microscopi.-: examination, serodiagnostic reaction or therapeutic tc.t. TREATMENT: When there is marked secondary infection mercury and potassium iodid may not alone suffice to arrest the ulceration, hut oper ative procedures, removal of sequestra, curetting, etc., should always be postponed until the snecific remedies have had time to exert their maximum effect. Cleansing with peroxide of hydrogen or other mild antiseptic lotion, and dusting with calomel are local measures that s h ould be employed from the ~tart. ��118 TUBERCULOSIS VERRUCOSA The disease begins as one or mor e pea· to coinsized. distinct ly circu mscribed, round or oval, r eddish papules. Several may coalesce to form a pat ch of an irregular or even a serpiginous configurat ion. T he surface of the lesion soon shows a tendency to be. come knobby and furrowed, a nd the more prominent parts of the growth bet ween the furrows assume at first a smooth warty and lat er a papillomatous appearance. The papillomata may be fi ne, pointed and horny, or broad, llat and sclerotic. J n the mor e ad\'anccd lesions there is nearly a lways considerable secondar y pyogcn1c infection, and slight lateral pressure will cause pus to wetl up between the papillre. Somet imes the pus dries to form su perficial crusts. T he in HJmmatory element is often rcpr e:;cnted alsc. by a mor e or less bright red, erythematous halo about the growth. The growth itself is usually a duskier or br ownish red. Occasionall y the whole lesion becomes acutely intlamed, swollen an d painful, but that is exceptional. As a rule the disease causes no subjective sensations. A plaque increases in size very slowly by the accretion of new lesions a t its edge. In the grea t m ajority of ca ses the <"Ondition persists indefini tely. There is no tendency to ulceration. Sometimes r esolution occurs. Jt usually begins at the center of the lesion. The scar \eft is smooth an d scaly. The backs of t he hatub afC the f;worite sites of the malady, though it may occur on any part of the body. Jt is t hought to be Uuc to a surface infect ion with the tubercle bacillus, which would accou nt for its r elative frequency u pon t he hands oi butchers, pathologists, and all those whose occupa11ons bring them in contact with t u berculou~ material from cadavers or from living subjects. The lesion in t his location is often described under t he title verruca necrogen ica or a natomic tubercle. DIAGNOSIS : S)•p/Jilts luberosa may look like the early ~tagc of tuberculosis vcrrucosa cutis, bu t t he !-lyphilitJC lesio ns are less chrome, more d eeply 111 filtrated, they :,pread by peri pheral extension and show a much m ore marked te ndency to occ ur 111 segmenta l groups, to coalesce with t he format ion of serpiginous patches, to travel over the skin, a nd to ulcerate in some pa r t. Signs of an earl ier er uption and the history may assist in the differ entiation. Dermatitis blastom)'COtica may so closely resemble the later stage of tuberculosis verrucosa that only a. micr oscopic exarnin:ltion will ser ve to distinguish t hem. The simplest m eth od is t o mix some of the pus with a drop of thirty per cent solution of potassiu m hydrate. wait about fifteen m inu tes u ntil the lcucocyt es have disintegrated and then search with the oil im mersion len s for the budding blastomycctcs. TREATMENT : T he smaller tu mors yield very well to cautcnzation with a satu rated aqueo us sol u tion of chromic acid. The same trea tment may be employed on the larger growths, one sect ion at a time, but these may be much more quickly cured by total excision and skin g r afting. ��131 ZOSTER Synonyms: Zona; Herpes zoster; I gnis sacer; Shingles. Zoster is an acute, self !united. probably specif1c infectious disease of the nervous system. hemorrhagic innammation attacks one An acute or more ganglia of the sensor} roots of the cranial or spinal nerves. There are often prodromal symptoms, anorexia. slight fever. and neur:llgic pains along the course of the diseased nerve. On the third or fourth day the rash appears as groups of Yesiclcs upon an crythematou:, base, situated in the skin region supplied by the affected nerYC. The neuralgia sometimes subsides with the outbreak, though often it pe;si"its for sc\·cral da:vs. As the tH..'r\'e distribution ts umlateral. o;;o the rash is con tined to one side of the hNiy, though lc!\ions situated nt•:tr the median line may encroach a little upon the opposite side. \\'hen two nerves arc affected at the ~:tme time. which is fl()t very unu..;ual. thev nearly ah,ays sup1>ly adia · rent areas.
