Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis in Massachusetts: Being a Succinct History of the Epidemic of 1873; With an Analysis of Upwards of 500 Cases, Collected From Every Part of the State The disease now denominated cerebro-spinal meningitis has long been known to the medical profession in the various countries of the civilized world. It has existed as an epidemic, at stated times, in Russia, Holland, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Great Britain. It has occurred also, from time to time, under various names and divers forms and phases of development, in many parts of our own land. During the war of the rebellion it was seen in marked and fatal form in some of the important military posts both West and South. It was the fortune of the writer to observe the disease in its epidemic character as it occurred in the camps in and about the town of Newbern, in North Carolina, in the winter and spring of 1862-63. This was one of the first among its recent visitations as an epidemic in the United States. So long, indeed, had the affection been dropped from the catalogue of our prevailing diseases that, at first, the whole medical force in that Department were at a loss to know with what they had to deal. Coming, as it did, suddenly and without warning, it early arrested attention by the abruptness and intensity of .the attack, the peculiarity of its symptoms, its protean developments, its oftentimes rapid course and fearfully fatal results.
