Abstract
ABSTRACTForty‐seven patients with various erythematous dermatoses were treated with systemic administration of potassium iodide. There were fifteen patients with erythema nodosum, ten with nodular vasculitis, fourteen with erythema multiforme, and eight with Sweet's syndrome. Potassium iodide was dramatically effective in a substantial number of cases. In responsive patients, improvement of the cutaneous changes was evident within a few days. The effect of the drug was impressive in patients with lesional tenderness, joint pains, and/or high fever. Relief of these subjective symptoms occurred within twenty‐four hours.The possible mode of the action of potassium iodide and pathogenesis of erythematous dermatoses were also discussed.
