Abstract
Peterkin1 in 1945 published a report concerning a patient with erythema annulare centrifugum treated by the oral administration of sulfathiazole. The author characterized the improvement in his patient as "dramatic." A 28 year old man had noted this condition for one month prior to the institution of sulfathiazole therapy. Within three days only pigmentation persisted. The patient was discharged from the hospital after one week, apparently cured. Unfortunately, Peterkin was unable to follow this patient, and so the ultimate result is not known. Obviously, the results obtained in 1 case do not establish the efficacy of any therapeutic agent. This fact is especially to be kept in mind in the case of a capricious disease such as erythema annulare centrifugum. Therefore, the case here reported is presented as another instance in which this dermatosis responded to treatment with sulfonamide compounds. REPORT OF A CASE C. M., a 13 yearKeywords
