Leber believes that there is a connection between phlyctenular inflammations and scrofula, although it cannot be strictly proven. The accompanying vesicular eruption on the skin is probably due to a multiple ectogenous infection of the cutis, while phlyctenulae in all probability do not arise in this way.
