Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pediatrics, Vol. 1 Some varieties of proteus, and most of bacterium coli are also rendered innocuous by boiling. Thus it prevents many cases of infant diarrhoea and vomiting - not all of them. For the most dangerous of all the bacteria are not influenced either by plain boiling or the common methods of sterilization. Besides, "diarrhoea" is but a symptom of many causes, and "cholera infantum" is a name for a condition occasioned by many. Ebstein emphasizes the fact that babies at the breast are subject to cholera infantum, particularly in southern climates, also in public institutions. The influence of external temperature is a very important factor; its sudden changes produce intestinal disorders. Babies, taken from a hot railroad car to the deck of a lake steamer, from a warm bed to a draughty room, may develop a catarrhal enteritis which disposes to worse forms of disease. For the morbid condition of the epithelium caused by such sudden changes is a proximate cause of disease because it opens the way to all sorts of infecting substances. Poisons in the food of cows, indigestible baby foods - either indigestible per se, or through a morbid condition of the digestive organs - produce diarrhoea of many varieties. It need not even depend on ingested food; for according to W. Schild´s recent investigations (Zeitsch. f. Hyg. u. Infect XIX.) germs of diseases may be found in the intestine of the newly born in from ten to seventeen hours after birth (min. 4, max. 20). The meconium of the newly born being free of germs, is supplied through the mouth with the bacterium coli and through the anus with the bacillus fluorescens, subtilis and proteus (even adults are infected through the same inlet). Linen, the bath, the air, the blood are sources of local invasion. In such cases, what is the sterilization of artificial food to accomplish? They are not reached by it. Not even the natural food, breast-milk, is free of germs possibly attended with dangers. M. Cohn and H. Neumann found germs in the healthy breast-milk even after the mamma and nipples had been washed with alcohol and with solutions of corrosive sublimate. A. Palleske met with the staphylococcuspyogenes albus in one-half of all healthy women, F. Honigmann (Z. f: Hyg. u. Inf. XIV) in most of them, and H. Knochenstein (Inaug. Diss. 1893) in the mammæ of eight puerperal and nursing women. Evidently they had immigrated from outside; they proved innocuous. But who can doubt but that if the epithelium of the milk ducts had been morbid, there would have been a chance for a mastitis, or if the staphylococcic milk had got into contact with a sore stomach or intestine, there would have been an opportunity for gastritis or enteritis.
