title: The neutrophilic dermatoses.
abstract: The neutrophilic dermatoses (ND) may present with pustules, plaques, ulcerations, and general malaise. They are secondary to the invasion of the skin by normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the absence of infection. ND are often associated with particular systemic diseases. The management of affected patients is reviewed, with a focus on nursing care.
