From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bazin disease (or "Erythema induratum", or "Nodular vasculitis") is a skin ulceration on the back of the calves. It was formerly thought to be a reaction to the tuberculum bacillus. It occurs mainly in women, but is very rare now.
It is named for Pierre-Antoine-Ernest Bazin.[1][2]
