Part 20

Not uncommon. Erythematous and scarlatinoid; usually no febrile disturbance, and desquamation seldom follows.

#Give frequency and types of cutaneous disturbance following the administration of the bromides (bromine).#

Common. Pustular, sometimes furuncular and carbuncular and superficially ulcerative. In exceptional instances papillomatous or vegetating lesions have been observed. Co-administration of arsenic or potassium bitartrate is thought to have a preventive influence in some cases.

#State frequency and types of cutaneous disturbance due to the administration of chloral.#

Occasional. Scarlatinoid and urticarial, and exceptionally purpuric; in rare instances, if drug is continued, eruption becomes vesicular, hemorrhagic, ulcerative and even gangrenous.

#State frequency and types of eruption following the administration of copaiba.#

Not uncommon. Urticarial, erythemato-papular and scarlatinoid.

#Mention frequency and types of eruption resulting from the ingestion of cubebs.#

Uncommon. Erythematous and small papular.

#Mention frequency and types of eruption resulting from the administration of digitalis.#

Exceptional. Scarlatinoid and papular.

#State frequency and types of eruption resulting from the iodides (iodine).#

Common. Pustular, but may be erythematous, papular, vesicular, bullous, tuberous, purpuric and hemorrhagic. Co-administration of arsenic or potassium bitartrate is thought to have a preventive influence in some cases.

#Give the frequency and types of eruption observed to follow the administration of mercury.#

Exceptional. Erythematous and erysipelatous.

#Give the frequency and types of the cutaneous disturbance following the ingestion of opium (or morphia).#

Not uncommon. Erythematous and scarlatinoid, and sometimes urticarial.

#Mention the frequency and the types of eruption following the administration of quinine.#

Not infrequent. Usually erythematous, but may be urticarial, erythemato-papular, and even purpuric. There is, in some instances, preceding or accompanying systemic disturbance. Furfuraceous or lamellar desquamation often follows.

#State frequency and types of eruption resulting from the ingestion of salicylic acid.#

Not common. Erythematous and urticarial; exceptionally, vesicular, pustular, bullous, and ecchymotic.

#Give frequency and type of cutaneous disturbance due to the administration of stramonium.#

Not common. Erythematous.

#State frequency and types of eruption resulting from the administration of turpentine.#

Not uncommon. Erythematous, and small-papular; exceptionally vesicular.

#X-Ray Dermatitis.#

#What several grades of x-ray dermatitis (x-ray burns, Rontgen-ray burns) are observed?#

Three grades are usually described: erythema, superficial vesication, and necrosis. The first and second may come on shortly--a few hours to several days--after exposure; occasionally later. The third grade may present also in the first several days, but in many cases one to several weeks may elapse before it appears; it is quite commonly preceded by erythema and vesication. The necrosis may be superficial or deep, and quite usually results in a persistent ulcer covered by a leathery coating; it is usually painful.
