This presentation is introductory in nature and is intended only to bring attention to a new disease entity that has not been previously reported.
Attention is drawn herein to general manifestations of the initial pathology in a number of cases.
No discussion of medical history, treatments, or outcome will be attempted at this time since most cases have not been satisfactorily resolved. These aspects will be discussed at a later date on a case by case basis as further progress allows and as more detailed information becomes available. Lesions on the face of MM, a 40 year old white American female from California who had intimate exposure to a boyfriend and pets, among other exposures, with identical symptoms in 1995 just before onset of symptoms. Lesions on the leg of KC, a middle-aged white American female whose case information gathering is in progress. The cutaneous aspects of NCS present in most cases experiencing the neurological aspects of the disorder.
