ERYTHEMA BULLOSUM MALIGNANS FOLLOWING DILANTIN THERAPY

[摘要] A case of erythema bullosum malignans in a child 9 years of age is presented. No conclusion concerning the etiology of this condition is warranted, but the coincidental occurrence of the disease following the use of dilantin® in this case and other reported cases should alert clinicians to the possibility of more severe reactions to that drug than is generally appreciated.It is felt that antibiotic agents and intravenous alimentation, especially the free use of whole blood, may be life-saving in tiding the patient over the protracted period of hypoproteinemia caused not only by weeping from the skin surface, but also by loss of substance from unrecognized visceral lesions.
