Several patches had assumed a more red or purplish-red color, had reached a papillomatous or condylomatous condition and covered much skin surface, one on the lower leg being at least one square inch in area. There was a history of a general "white" rash at birth, followed by the present eruption at 6 weeks of age. A marked rattle had been heard in the throat, dating
