Objective.
Eruptions, Dry. Eruption on the skin, consisting of isolated, sharply defined, somewhat elevated bright-red spots, with elevations similar to the sting of a wasp, confluent on the ears and backs of the hands; after a few days they became brownish yellow, like the so-called liver-spots; there was no desquamation except on the ears, which was a fine mealy desquamation; even after four weeks burning spots could be seen. Eruption resembling roseola but the spots are more elevated and larger, confluent on certain portions of the chest and arms, and look something like petechiae; the eruption disappears at the end of four days without perceptible desquamation. Uneasiness during the two days, followed by a very hard chill, which is succeeded by heat and an eruption of very circumscribed lenticular patches; this eruption gives rise to intense itching and pricking of the skin; it is like measles but is without any catarrhal symptoms. On the third day the fever subsides and the eruption grows paler. On the seventh day the skin has a mottled appearance. The eruption does not wholly disappear for five days; no desquamation. Eruption of a number of red blotches all over the body but especially on the face. Red miliary eruption, sometimes discrete, sometimes confluent, preceded by headache, vertigo and loathing. In a few days a general copaival erythema declared itself, with the usual characters of that eruption. Copaiba produces a rash well described by Judd in his work; a rosy erythema of “pumiceous” aspect, as though the skin had been bitten by insects. Eruption like scarlet fever or nettle rash over the whole body; this eruption appeared first in the face, especially on the forehead, afterwards on the backs of the hands, then on the portions of the body, with severe burning in the skin. Nettle rash (several authors). Large red blotches all over the body, with constipation and some fever. Elevated eruption, confluent on the hands and feet, scarlet or like elevated measles.
Small furfuraceous tetter on the concha of the left ear, with burning pain only when touched. Urticaria, at first on the face, especially the forehead, then on the back of the hands and finally in the other parts. Burning of the skin, slight sore throat (without swelling of the pharynx or tonsils) and sensation as if a violent perspiration would break out, as it does afterwards. No fever or thirst; red, distinct raised spots like bug-bites, running together only on the ears and the backs of the hands. On the sixth day the redness disappears and the spots assume a brown color, without desquamating, except on the ears.
