Generalized vaccinia in patients with pemphigus foliaceus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
ALTHOUGH there are numerous reports of individual cases, only a few papers deal with general aspects of the clinical picture of generalized vaccinia (Tedder, I936; Clark, Seiler, Joe, Gammie, Tait and Jack, I944; Fries, Borne and Barnes, I948). During two outbreaks of generalized vaccinia occurring, after two mass vaccinations, in a hospital for patients with pemphigus foliaceus, some clinical observations were madefrom time to time while more clinical data could be collected in retrospect. Despite its limitations, the evidence so obtained is presented in this paper in view of the paucity of the pertinent literature.
