Dermatitis.
'
November and December 193$, had a large hive right cheek with soreness^
ass. burning and itching followed by extension of swelling to hands with
small discrete vesicles, later coalescing and spreading up arms and '
neck - with few patches on chest.
.
Off work 21 months till January 1932 - Free till July 1932 -when eruption'
reappeared as wheal-- vesicles on hand - spreading over entire body withirh
4 days - increased in severity for 1 month then gradually improved to .
date. Only remaining area is. on calves. Has had epldermophytosiisf'eet
repeatedly. Never spread - no other dermiti^r*s
Filling Station Attendant since April 1930.

dorsum of the -hands and entire lower forearms - lesions being confluent.,.,
on dorsum hands -but tapering off to discrete papulo-vesicles on.the. . g
forearms. There has been no unusual hand contact with discharge from ,/h
the legs nor has there been any new gasoline exposure. Some heightened
sensitivity of the skin has apparently supervened as there has appeared
a well marked vesicular dermatitis on an area of the cubital fossa, which
. was briefly iodinized prior to venipuncture yesterhny.

Calves practically free - except for 1 or 2 small weeping areas on each -=
dorsum hands clear - few active areas palms and interdigital areas -
_. - -~ ear clear except in sulcus. The course of this recrudescence has been
very instructive. This dates directly from the last period of treatment
in Exp.Ill on 10-26-32 during^-immediately after which there occurred
reaction in distant parts which .progressed, though t reatrnent was dis-
^ continued, and eventually became general. It is interesting to note that
when the reaction did assume general proportions the initial general
response was first observed in those areas that had been worst affected .
and slowest to heal during previous attacks.
'
. '
The lesions on the hand began to spread 15 days after the last exposure - \
without any re-exposure of unusual contact, with discharge from other-
lesions, and are running a two weeks course being fairly well resolved
at this time. These delayed heightened reactions'suggest various possi
bilities:
1 . delayed absorption
-
..
2. That the absorbed irritant molecule ' 3 self perpetuating
. as a virus might be.
3 . That the changes initiated in the skin at the exposed .
' area were in themselves progressive and led to a
heightened sensitivity of the skin generally - either
directly or by virtue of products^cast off by the affecte-.
skin area - of. nature of nReagins!i
'
: If* The absorbed irritant ma;y not be destroyed or excreted but continue to circulate in sufficient concentration ^
' to Induce 'reactions In areas as they are sensitised by f!reagins " elaborated from the original source.
1. The first possibility cannot be. excluded but is not suggested by the course of the general reaction-which does not describe a regular curve In intensity but rises after 2 definite lag or negative periods.
; 2. Cannot be excluded - but as yet neither serum from skin areas nor . j patient'.s blood serum causes any similar reaction In Rabbits or monkeys.I
I 5* The third and fourth possibilities remain the most likely from. theyyu|
course of the condition as well as from the results of passive transfer
experiments below which suggest the occurrence of either sensitizing
bodies (Heagin3) or a. virus like substance in the patient's circulating
blood.

TG for fractions inaccurate as monometer was too low to be read, but distillation was maintained at constant rate between cuts and samples represent progressive fractions - all are clear - good, white
except 5 which of course contains dye and in addition became clouny
within a few hours exposure to diffuse light.
Tubes prepared in the above fashion and. arrangement were used for exposure of passively sensitized areas on arm of normal individual. The areas were sensitized by intradermal injection of Q.Op c.c. of patient's serum (preserved with 1. 10,000 Merthiolate) into each of six areas (Nos. 1-6) on forearm - 6 hours being al 1owed to elapse following., injection for the sensitization reaction to take place. At the end of
mouths, of 7/ 8 -full serological test tubes was carried out. Five minutes
after experiment started there was marked pain and smarting in the area
oC tube tl6!- which increased in intensity during the 15 minute exposure
at the end of which the burning could barely be. tolerated. There was
noted a red areola - tender to touch in an oval abea from tube - k-to
tube
Area #6 was markedly affected - the sensitised area was glazed-
rsddened and swollen and there was elevation and infiltration for 1. 5
cm, (diameter) around the injection site. This m s w ell marked in k-S
hours and tapered off for 2l hours but is still bronzed and noticeable
10 days after treatment.
- :'
Six salt solution and Merthiolate'(1:10,000)' injection of 0.03 cc were used as controls and a If minute exposure of uhtreatd skin areas in the same fashion with identical tubes was done on the other arm immediately following the original exposure. ho observable effect vas noted on the control sites either at the end of the exposure or 2br hours later.
It was noted that the sens:tizing serum was irritating when
acted ?,,nd croduced a s eable wheal for 1 - 2 hours after inject
1 showing 2 small pseudopods. Thi na_y have been due to some irritating_
substance present in the serum - other than the sensitizing agent or may
br-.ye b een due to reactions with minute amounts of the antigen present

I1-25-32. The injection of 0.03 oc of Mr. Miller's serum intradernally to another (C.V.) normal Individual failed to give the same type of wheal, as was noted on prior Injections Into (W.M.) another normal skin. Either due to difference in skins or to presence of antigen In skin first control

Dressed right leg with 10/s Thionex in Lanolin on 11-21-32* Five hours later leg began to swell and weep - by 8:00 P.IvI. vas painful and dis charging copiously. Following morning (11-22-32) left leg began to weep anc swelled slightly. Ears wept and several new papular areas appeared In hands and old iodinlzed area - the latter subsequently vesicalated and oozed serum for 1 day. There has been Improvement during past three days. It seems as though there has been a typical sensitivity reaction to the Thionex which was employed several times during the first attack 1 month ago. Malaise, vertigo, full feeling in head with staggering gait noted,
on several occasions past 2 days - worse at nights - attacks last 1- 3
minutes and simulate drunkenness hut pass off rabidly,-.

11- 30 -32 Noticeable improvement - in old areas especially hands - but a large area Involving l/ 2 right chest has appeared in last 12 hours with two 15 x 15 cm patches over scapulae. These are hard papular scaly
eruptions - no vesicles or serum - and although are only few hours old look like, chronic lesions - Their appearance ta not related to any exposur
nor was there possibility of contamination.by discharges from active areas.
On 11-12-32 an attempt was made to secure passive transfer onto shin of
rabbit; without successr either by patch tests or vapor exposure -
,
intradermal injection of 0.01 cc into the sensitized and. control sites
resulted'in a marked acute inflammatory local reaction in epntrol as well
as serum treated areas. The cut 5 of 7 Is evidently very irritating but
in the case of a rabbit at least this irritating quality is nob fenhanced
by application.to areas which have been treated with sensitive human serum.
/ Attempts.at passive transfer into the skin of a young - (2 yr.old) monkey
$ were equally unsuccessful on treatment Tilth vapor and by patch method -
intradermal injection of 0.01 cc as in case of rabbit resulted in a marked
/ .inflammatory reaction leading bo necrosis of the treated skin areas - both
