THE NATURE OF HALOGEN SENSITIVITY IN DERMATITIS HERPETIFORMIS AND PEMPHIGUS - A PRELIMINARY REPORT

[摘要] The separation of the epidermis from the corium in excised pieces of human skin could be effected by such Na salts the anions of which swell collagen. The separation was promoted in the same order that these salts promote the swelling of gelatin (Hofmeister vSeries). The bromide sensitivity of patients with dermatitis herpetiformis and pemphigus is explained in relation to these facts.
