FROM time to time patients are shown, at dermatological meetings who have tniitsual chronic bhstering eiTjptions not readily recogtiized as belonging either to the dermatitis herpetiformis or to the pemphigtis gronp. Bisctission on tiiese cases is often long, and the diagnoses offered are tentative, dermatitis herpetiformis and impetigo herpetiformis being the mc^t usual. One of us (I. B. S.) showed such a case at the International Congress of Physicians in London in 1947 and this was afterwards ftiUy reported by Savage (1!)51) tinder the diagnosis of Ptiatular Herpetiforin Parapsoriasis. Since then we have shown three other cases—Wilkinson (1951) caaea 4 and 5 below : Rneddon (lf)5o) case 6 below—of a vesicopusttilar ertiption of ati ttnusnal pattern. W'e tiovt' wdsh to report three fnrther cases together with a resnm^ of those previously published by us. We believe that they are all examples of the same condition and that a review of their clinical features will be of value.
