Abstract
-
Autoerythrocyte sensitization syndrome is characterized by sudden and spontaneous painful bruising and swelling occurring in adult female patients with emotional disorders. Systemic symptoms often accompany the onset of these lesions. A diagnosis of this syndrome can be made in a patient who has the typical history and clinical picture of the syndrome and in whom a skin test with the patient's blood reveals a positive reaction.
