Caption:
This image depicts the dorsum of the right hand of a 71-year-old woman revealing a metastatic lesion of vaccinia necrosum, also known as progressive vaccinia. The margins of this lesion displayed the characteristic confluent vaccinial growth. Despite intensive treatment, this patient died, and was found to have a deficiency in her cellular immunity mechanism. See PHIL 14254, for an image, which depicts the initial vaccination site on the left upper arm, and the progressive vaccinial reaction that had taken place.
