Abstract
In 1873 White 1 first called attention to the use of iron salts in the treatment of ivy poisoning. In 1886 Browning 2 described the use of ferric chloride in the treatment of rhus poisoning, but its popularity was greatly advanced by the work of McNair 3 in 1921. Many others 4 have attested the usefulness, harmlessness and efficacy of preparations of iron salts in both the treatment and the prophylaxis of rhus poisoning; some authors have gone so far as to suggest the remedy as the first choice in the chemotherapy of rhus dermatitis. The prevalence of rhus poisoning and the apparent rarity of complications in cases treated by iron salts prompts the report of these with their unusual sequelae. REPORT OF CASES Case 1.— Miss M.
