Abstract
Studies on the permeability of the skin have been undertaken in recent years in an effort to clarify a number of pathologic processes. It is but natural to inquire into the functional as well as the organic state of the walls of the blood vessels whenever abnormal exchanges occur between the tissues and the blood. With these studies it is possible to elicit information related not only directly to the skin itself and its diseases, but indirectly to the internal organs, as was shown by Müller and Petersen1 through their demonstration of the so-called splanchnicperipheral balance. This showed that the visceral and skin vessels are oppositely oriented as to tonus and blood content at any given moment. Petersen2 and Gännslen3 have further provided a simple means for studying capillary permeability of the skin by means of an artificial blister.
