Pyloric Antral Mucosal Diaphragm

Abstract

The chicken-pox lesions occurring in these cases may be missed if they are not looked for carefully early in the disease. However, 21 of the 33 patients with varicellar lesions showed a mild but widespread typical chicken-pox eruption. In the remaining cases only a few scattered lesions were observed.It is generally accepted that over 70 % of cases with herpes zoster have had chickenpox in the past-although in our series such a past history could seldom be recalled.The high incidence of simultaneous chicken-pox and herpes zoster is important from an epidemiological point of view, in view of the higher risk of spread of chicken-poxparticularly in hospital wards amongst nursing staff and young, debilitated, or steroid-treated patients.-We are, etc.,

“…In the discussion which ensued a further instance was mentioned by Itzes (1965). T o these may be added 12 cases reported elsewhere by Desmond and Swynnerron (1957); Melamed, Haukohl, and Callan (1960); Singer (1963); Conway (1965); Diethrich and Regan (1965); Gibbon and Ashby (1965); Rhind (1965); Parrish, Sherman, and Moretz (1966); Pulsifer, Jedd, and Van Zandt (1966); and Robinson (1967). The apparent rarity of the condition is, however, disputed by Rhind (1965) who states that he personally has seen over 40 cases.…”
