[Permanent nail changes following gold therapy].
Following gold therapy in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis a transient rash and permanent nail dystrophy resulted. Following onycholysis of several finger and toe nails the nails showed permanent alterations in form of longitudinal streaks and were extremely thin, soft, and fragile. Intracutaneous tests with the commercial gold solution revealed an allergic reaction of the delayed type.
