It is essentially a diffuse vascular disease involving the small vessels of the skin and viscera, although recent studies1 in which fibrinoid degeneration and sclerosis of the collagen are described as the fundamental change in lupus erythematosus indicate that the concept of a diffuse disease of the peripheral circulation can no longer be entertained without question.Hebra,2in...Bibliography1.
