Acrodermatitis Continua (Hallopeau)

Acrodermatitis Enteropathica*

“…Evidence against primary causation by Candida infection is the familial incidence, the strikingly uniform clinical picture, the failure to find Candida in lungs and other viscera at autopsy and the fact that there are fully investigated cases in which Candida has not been cultured. However, Lever (1959) has stated that acrodermatitis enteropathi(!a represents a disseminate cutaneous and mucocutaneous candidiasis in specially predisposed individuals.…”

Pericarditis and Electrocardiographic Changes in Reiter's Syndrome

“…Paronen also recorded seven cases which developed pericarditis with an audible friction rub out of a total of 308 patients suffering from the syndrome. Lever and Crawford (1944) recorded a case of a 35-yearold man who, during the fourth month of a severe attack of Reiter's disease, complained of substernal oppression and whose electrocardiogram showed changes suggestive of recent myocardial infarction. An electrocardiogram earlier in the attack had been normal.…”

Electrocardiographic Changes in Reiter's Syndrome

“…Gadrat and Morel (1935) found electrocardiographic changes in a man with gonococcal urethritis and arthritis, and Bang (1940) made an electrocardiographic diagnosis of gonococcal myocarditis in six men, five of whom had " recurrent specific arthritis ", and the sixth acute urethritis and arthritis. Lever and Crawford (1944) described the case of a man, aged 37, already in hospital with the complete Reiter's syndrome, who died 2 days after the onset of sub-sternal oppression, cyanosis, and hypotension. An electrocardiogram shortly before death was suggestive of recent anterior myocardial infarction, whereas one taken 6 days previously had been normal.…”
