Bocage, A., Lérine, R. and Chevè, J. Presence of Nicolas-Favre disease on suppurative folliculitis of the preputial sac. (Bull. Soc. Fr. De Derm, et Syph. No. 8, 1936)

A 23-year-old man, with acute gonorrhea, was treated in Barcelona with lavages and infusions of gonacrine. Twelve to fifteen days after the start of treatment, two folliculitis appeared on the preputial sac. After another 5 days, fever with a temperature of up to 39. Soon, adenitis appears in the groins, characteristic of lymphogranulomas. Folliculitis resembled "gonoric abscesses" in appearance. The gonorrhea urethritis was over, the urine was clear. Folliculitis pus was inoculated into mice. The produced Frey's antigen was applied to the patient and the intradermal reaction was positive. Under the influence of iodine treatment, the adenopathy was cured. The authors consider folliculitis to be "chancres" of Nicolas-Favre disease.
