Excerpt from The British Journal of Dermatology, Vol. 21: January-December, 1909Summary - The histology of the condition is characterised by a lifting up en masse of the horny layers of the epithelium from a rapid exudation of serum tending to collect into lakes on the surface, which exudate is Obviously the result of the striking (edema notice able in the prickle-cell layer, which in its turn is due to the vascular dilatation prevalent in the dermal and hypodermal vessels. These facts, together with the presence of cocci on the surface, probably due merely to accidental contamination, and the absence of any leucocytic infiltration, constitute the most striking histological features. If the exudation of polymorphonuclear leucocytes is considered to be an essential Sign of in¿ammation, then Ritter's disease is not a dermatitis.Beyond this, however, there are no facts to bring forward, and whilst the thrombosis hypothesis is a possibility, it is, as I am well aware, beset with many difficulties which must be met before it can be accepted.In conclusion, I must express my sincere thanks to Dr. Arthur Hall and Prof. Beattie for much kindly help and advice in preparing this paper, to the latter of whom I am also indebted for his kindness in placing the laboratory at my disposal. I must also express my thanks to Prof. Macdonald for his valuable help in taking the micro photographs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
