Bazin disease (or "Erythema induratum") is a panniculitis on the back of the calves.[1]
It was formerly thought to be a reaction to the tuberculum bacillus. It is now considered a panniculitis that is not associated with a single defined pathogen.[2]
It occurs mainly in women, but is very rare now.
[edit] History
It is named for Pierre-Antoine-Ernest Bazin.[3][4]
