I N the course of the last fifteen years T liavo eneountered eight patients wlio liave had what seems to ho a distinttive and fairly severe ilhiess. It is accom- panied by a skin eruption whieh. although presumably reactive in nature and somewhat resomhling erythema multiforme in appearance and duration, is I believe elinically and histologi( ally distinctive. The four cardinal features, are fever, neutrophil ])olymorphonucloar leueotytosis of the blood, raised painful plaques on the limbs, face and neck and histologically a dense dermal infdtration with mature neutropliil ]>olymorj>hs. No evidence of infection is to be found. Response to corticosteroid drugs is rapid and complete. The object of this paper is to draw a composite picture of the condition and behaviour of these patients and to describe briefly their variations.
