Abstract
No remedy advocated for the treatment of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus has proved invariably helpful or unquestionably safe. Such drugs as gold, bismuth, liver extract, sodium para-amino benzoate, sulfonamides, penicillin and quinine are all utilized and not infrequently in the same patient. More recently, reports have appeared on the use of calcium pantothenate, both alone and in combination with Vitamin E (1, 2). Vitamin E both by the oral and the parenteral routes has been employed (3, 4). The adrenocortico-steroids have been tried with only transient improvement (5, 6, 7).
