title: Mucha-Habermann's disease in children: treatment with erythromycin.
abstract: Safe therapeutic measures for Mucha-Habermann's disease in children are lacking. Three patients with the disease were treated with erythromycin for systemic effect. Although the series is small and uncontrolled, this approach seemed effective. An anti-inflammatory mechanism related to inhibition of chemotaxis is speculated.
