Pink disease, not Pink's disease
editIt is named after the characteristic color of the rash. Citations below are from the Oxford English Dictionary.
- pink disease n. Med. a disease of children caused by mercury poisoning, characterized by pinkness of parts of the body, restlessness, and photophobia.
- 1921 Med. Jrnl. Austral. 19 Feb. 146/1 When the rash is marked it is common to find the glands in the axillæ and groins enlarged. It is this pink rash, that leads to the name ‘pink disease’.
- 1974 R. Passmore & J. S. Robson Compan. Med. Stud. III. xvii. 28/1 Pink disease earns its name from the colour of the hands and feet and not from an imaginary Dr Pink to whom many students credit its discovery.
