Presented by Dr. Paul E. Bechet. A. B., a woman aged 54, from the Skin and Cancer Unit of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital, states that she has had an eruption on the face for five years. The eruption is located in the area typically affected by rosacea; it is erythematous and shows many papulopustules and telangiectatic areas. The lesions are violaceous red and disappear on pressure with the diascope. Tests with tuberculin gave the following results: 1:1,000,000 dilutions, no reaction; 1:100,000 dilutions, 1 plus; 1:10,000 dilutions, 2 plus. Sections of skin were reported to show changes suggestive of Lewandowsky's rosacea-like tuberculid. DISCUSSION Dr. David L. Satenstein: The eruption seems to resemble that in all the cases of the Lewandowsky type of rosacea that I have seen. I suggest that another section be examined.
