Wolf’s isotopic response - Rupioid psoriasis developing on healed lesions of varicella
Keywords:
Isotopic response, varicella, rupioid psoriasisAbstract
Occurrence of an unrelated disease on the site of a healed disease is known as Wolf’s isotopic response. There are reports of various diseases occurring as isotopic response on healed lesions of herpes zoster commonly. We report a case of rupioid psoriasis developing on healed lesions of varicella in a young boy.References
