TY - JOUR T1 - MUehrcke's lines of the fingernails AU - Schwartz R, Vickerman CE Y1 - 1979/02/01 N1 - 10.1001/archinte.1979.03630390094033 JO - Archives of Internal Medicine SP - 242 EP - 242 VL - 139 IS - 2 N2 - Paired narrow transverse fingernail lines as described by Muehrcke developed in a 64-year-old woman. This patient had lung cancer and was receiving multiple cytostatic agents. Her serum albumin level was normal when this nail finding was quite prominent. There was no history of a markedly reduced serum albumin level. Accordingly, her nail alterations may represent another example of chemotherapy-induced nail changes.(Arch Intern Med 139:242, 1979) SN - 0003-9926 M3 - doi: 10.1001/archinte.1979.03630390094033 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archinte.1979.03630390094033 ER -
