Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis and Its Relation to Other Forms of Meningitis, 1898: A Report of the State Board of Health of Massachusetts The prevalence of epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis in Massachusetts has been marked with much irregularity. An epidemic of unusual severity in 1873 gave rise to an investigation and report by Dr. J. B. Upham, which appeared in the report of the State Board of Health for that year. A summary of 517 cases reported by different physicians throughout the State was given in that report. Dr. Upham was particularly well qualified for this investigation by his previous acquaintance with the disease in Newbern, North Carolina, during the civil war. In considering the causes of the disease he paid particular attention to the influence of insanitary conditions as an active or predisposing cause. With regard to this he says: - The relation of insanitary conditions in and around the abode of the patient to its origin or supposed cause demands the most careful consideration. In weighing the evidence contained in the returns, I find the scale to be pretty evenly balanced in this particular. The cases are distributed among all classes and grades of society, - the high and low, the rich and the poor, locations unexceptionable for situation, open to abundant light and air, and the pent-up hovels of the lowly and wretched, have all contributed to the material of the epidemic. We believe, therefore, that the primal origin of the disease is atmospheric, and, for the present, beyond our ken. Since Dr. Upham´s report, great discoveries in regard to the aetiology of many of the infectious diseases have been made.
