| Abstract: | A case of acne fulminans with radiological features of an arthritis is reported. This recently described association is reviewed. Acne fulminans (Goldschmidt, Leyden & Stein, 1977) is a rare but well characterized disorder consisting of a highly inflammatory form of acne associated with a variety of systemic features. Recent reports (Hunter & Hesinger, 1980; Davis et al., 1981; Cros, Gamby & Serratrice, 1981) have highlighted the presence of radiological changes accompanying joint symptoms in patients with acne fulminans. We report a further case with these associations. |
