An atypical form of erythrokeratoderma variabilis, profound bilateral perceptive deafness, physical retardation, and specific neurological disturbances are described in a girl aged 8 from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The differential diagnosis is discussed and abnormal EMG, nerve conduction and muscle biopsy findings are described. The syndrome is considered to be due to a" dominant " mutant gene. Only one case with a similar constellation of findings has previously been described (Schnyder et al., 1968), although there are some differences in detail between the two. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the history of dermatology in Dublin, Ireland. The story of dermatology in Dublin begins in 1804, when Thomas Moriarty, published in Dublin a neat little octavo volume of 64 pages, "A Description of the Mercurial Lepra," giving a clear account of the course, clinical appearances and origin of the mercurial drug eruption. Abraham Colles also made great contributions for dermatology in Dublin. His largest and most important work was his "Observations on the Venereal Disease and the use of Mercury," published in Dublin and London, England in 1837.
