Infantile acropustulosis.
A case of infantile acropustulosis is described. The condition responded to sulfones while it was not affected by any other therapy. Histologically, subcorneal pustules were found; persistent modest eosinophilia and eosinophils were present in the vesicular content, a feature never observed before. The significance of this finding is discussed.
