Abstract
A case of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus is described in which there were recurrent relapses following infections, and at the same time repeated `flare ups' at the site of a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to Staphylococcus aureus. The appearance of the injection site changed from that of a typical `tuberculin reaction' to a patch of discoid lypus erythematosus which was confirmed both histologically and by immunofluorescence.
