Gaston Milian

Medical terms

• "Milian's erythema" : also known as "ninth-day erythema"; a nontoxic eruption that resembles measles or a toxic erythema. It usually occurs on the ninth day of a course of medication. It was originally described as a reaction to arsenical treatment of syphilis.
• "Milian's solution": solution of gentian violet and methyl green in alcohol.
• "Milian's ear sign": a medical sign used to distinguish between cellulitis and erysipelas affecting the ear. Because the pinna of the ear lacks a dermis and subcutaneous fat, the diagnosis of cellulitis is less likely since it involves such deep seated structures.
