SUMMARY
The appearance of the tongue has been recorded in ten consecutive patients suffering from generalized pustular psoriasis and in 1000 consecutive dermatology patients. Tongue lesions similar to geographic tongue (benign migratory glossitis) are frequently seen in patients suffering from generalized pustular psoriasis and an unusually high proportion of patients with generalized pustular psoriasis also have heavily fissured tongues. Moreover, it seems probable that the presence of geographic tongue or heavy fissuring of the tongue in an otherwise apparently normal individual indicates that he or she may possess a propensity to develop generalized pustular psoriasis.
Seventeen patients suffering from photo-contact dermatitis due to quindoxin sensitivity are described. The source of contact was animal feeding stuffs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
