Dear Group,I believe that EN Migrans is the type of EN I have: few lumps, one leg only, rarely associated with fever or arthritic pains and no underlying disorder discovered. It is even rarer than classic EN.Wishing Everyone a Happy Week Ahead.Love,idio. EN '68Erythema nodosum migrans.

Hannuksela M.

PIP: During 1963-1971 at the University Central

Hospital, Helsinki, 438 patients with erythema nodosum (EN) were seen.

Of these 56 were diagnosed erythema nodosum migrans (ENmi), which is

considered only a clinical variation of EN. Only 3 of these patients

were men. The mean duration of the eruption was 4.5 months. The number

of nodules varied from 1 to 8. In 40 patients they were unilateral. No

scarring resulted. Patients' general health was good. Fever and

artholgia were rare.1 In half the ENmi cases no other disease or

condition could be associated with the eruption. Of conditions possibly

triggering the EN, pregnancy was recorded in 40 percent; streptococcal

infections and sarcoidosis were next in frequency. The number of oral

contraceptive users among EN patients was 2 1/2 times as high as

expected based on sales figures. (According to the sales statistics 16

percent of women of fertile age in Finland take this medication while

40 percent of women of fertile age with EN were taking oral

contraceptions at onset of the eruption. ) This supports the view that

female sex hormones may influence the host response to various agents.
