Relationship of Focal Infections to Certain Dermatoses: Further Observations

Ravitch et al discuss observations on relationship of focal infections to certain dermatoses. It was not until the epochal work of Billings and Rosenow that they really had a base of facts from which to work. With the proved relationship of focal infections to more or less widely disseminated infection throughout the body they found themselves in a better position to prove that the skin may suffer from such infections as well as the joints, muscle, heart, nerves, and other structures.
