Abstract

A 14-year-old boy presented with a febrile illness associated with arthritis. Shortly later he developed mononeuritis multiplex. After certain typical skin lesions had developed after two months, the diagnosis cutaneous polyarteritis could be made. The diagnostic features of this benign disease, which may involve peripheral nerves, are discussed.

Key words
