Abstract
A survey of the relevant literature, with particular attention to clinical and immunological studies propounding pathogenetic theories, is followed by the presentation of 32 cases of erythema nodosum observed in infants examined at the Turin Paediatrics Clinic and Regina Margherita Hospital. The clinical laboratory data showed that streptococcal infection was hardly less significant than T. B. as the cause of this condition.
