Nobody *wants* erysipelas.

But, really, where'd you pull that one out from? I've not heard of it

at all though, sure enough, Stedman's Concise has a sizable listing:

erysipelas

A specific, acute, cutaneous inflammatory disease caused by

*-hemolytic streptococci and characterized by hot, red, edematous,

brawny, and sharply defined eruptions; usually accompanied by severe

constitutional symptoms. Syn: rose(1).

Origin

[G., fr. erythros, red + pella, skin]

ambulant erysipelas

erysipelas internum

erysipelas migrans

erysipelas perstans faciei

phlegmonous erysipelas

erysipelas pustulosum

surgical erysipelas

swine erysipelas

erysipelas verrucosum

wandering erysipelas

That one's been rolling around in my little pea-brain for so many years I

can't even remember where I got it to begin with, but I seriously remember

knowing it since at least the early 70s. (Of the 20th century, not my

early 70s, Chuck. I'm not even gonna give you that opening.)

I have to admit that I had to verify the spelling before submitting it,

however. My memory thinks it's in its LATE 70s.

And, , I'm glad it helped.
