Pityriasis rosea. Viral complement fixation studies.
Eleven patients were seen for pityriasis rosea and underwent acute and convalescent viral complement fixation tests for several respiratory viruses and Mycoplasma. Several patients (6/11) gave a history of antecedent upper respiratory illness; however, no significant rise in titer was seen on any of the complement fixation tests.
