A description is given of a punctate cutaneous eruption commonly found in cases of kala-azar in the Sudan, and appearing during treatment. Proof is given that the rash may occur in the absence of antimony, and hence it cannot be a specific toxic effect of this drug. Reference is made to an apparently allied phenomenon in canine kala-azar during treatment. The relation between this rash and the post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis of India is discussed, and it is concluded that there are differences in the evolution of Indian and Sudan kala-azar in man.
