A case of
Beau's lines
secondary to combined chemotherapy for
Hodgkin's disease
is reported. These transverse nail depressions are interpreted as the result of a transient interruption of the nail matrix activity due to antimitotic drugs. Other causes of
Beau's lines
are reviewed.

We describe a case of fever of unknown origin (FUO) of 9 months' duration in which the finding of regularly spaced multiple
Beau's lines
(the "ladder nail" sign) pointed to the possibility of a relapsing fever of the Pel-Ebstein variety and an underlying lymphoma. Subsequent investigation confirmed the association of the
Beau's lines
and fever, as well as the diagnosis of
Hodgkin's disease
as the cause of the FUO. In this setting,
Beau's lines
may provide an important diagnostic clue and should be carefully looked for on physical examination.
