The syphilitic child also will probably be wasted have a harsh café au lait coloured skin snuffles  hoarse cry enlarged liver and spleen and a positive wassermann reaction. The child with bullous impetigo will probably be otherwise healthy and the lesions not symmetrical. Halogen eruptions are sometimes bullous but they tend to be persistent and a history can usually be obtained of the administration of " soothing powders " to the baby or of bromide or iodide to the mother.
