A case is reported of late, latent syphilis in which treatment by arsenic was followed by exfoliative dermatitis. During this attack severe cardiac symptoms appeared and progressed rapidly to a fatal issue. The lesions of acute diffuse myocarditis were found at autopsy.
The exfoliative dermatitis is believed to have been the cause of the myocardial changes.
