Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cerebro-Spinal Fever This book has for its aim an attempt to bring together and correlate the clinical and pathological facts which we were enabled to accumulate during the epidemic of 1915. In January of that year, some of the first cases to occur in the Eastern Command were brought to the 1st Eastern General Hospital for treatment, and came under our care. The earlier cases were admitted in the first instance to different wards and were therefore under the charge of various physicians. Our thanks are due to Major Wright and Captains Curl and Haynes for allowing us every facility for studying the cases which had been admitted under their care. To Captain Curl we are especially indebted for much valuable counsel and help in dealing with these earlier cases. At the end of February the War Office appointed one of us bacteriologist to deal with the outbreak in the Western part of the Eastern Command. At the same time Colonel Griffiths arranged that a ward should be set apart for the treatment of all cases that arose. We were appointed to have charge of the cases admitted. A laboratory, which had been equipped by the Insurance Act Committee for purposes of research at the 1st Eastern General Hospital, was given for the investigation. In addition to providing the laboratory, the Committee assisted our investigations by appointing Mr H. W. C. Vines to study special problems as they arose. We wish to express our great indebtedness to the Insurance Act Committee for the equipment so generously given. To Mr Vines our thanks are specially due as much of his work has been incorporated in the present volume. Major Hele also rendered valuable assistance when the pressure of work was extremely great. In addition to laboratory work, it was the duty of the bacteriologist to visit the place of origin of every case, and investigate the hygienic conditions in which it arose. At this visit all contacts were examined to discover carriers. Ah proved carriers were at once brought into the special Cerebro-Spinal Fever ward, where they were kept under observation until two consecutive throat swabs had proved negative. Every case was therefore fully investigated by us from its commencement to the termination of the illness.
