Abstract
We wish to present the clinical and pathologic picture of a patient with exfoliative dermatitis believed to be the result of administration of phenobarbital. Clinically, drug eruptions are not uncommon, and their manifestations are amply dealt with in the literature.

This is particularly true of eruptions due to phenobarbital. REPORT OF CASE Y. H., a 47 year old white woman, was admitted to Montefiore Hospital on Sept. 24, 1936. She was known to have had hypertension for six years with attacks of headache and dizziness. There was no family or personal history of atopic dermatitis, asthma or hay fever.
