The Therapy of Syphilis (Classic Reprint): Its Development and Present Position: Its Development and Present Position (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
A clear, expert look at the rise of modern syphilis therapy from early mercurial treatments to arsenic-based drugs and serum diagnosis.
Originally published to explain how research from the late 19th and early 20th centuries reshaped treatment, this work charts the shift from traditional mercurial care to modern chemotherapy. It discusses the discovery of the Spirochæta pallida, the Wassermann reaction, and the move toward targeted therapies, including arsenobenzol and related compounds, while noting both their promise and cautious limitations. The text also covers hereditary syphilis, nervous-system involvement, and practical considerations for dosing and administration.
Readers will gain an oriented view of how scientific advances influenced clinical practice, with attention to when to begin treatment, how to manage relapses, and how new methods changed the outlook for patients with congenital, ocular, or neurologic syphilis.
- How the understanding of the syphilis organism transformed treatment decisions.
- Key milestones in diagnosis and chemotherapy, including specific drug approaches and dosing considerations.
- Practical guidance on managing signs, symptoms, and relapses across stages and special cases.
- Discussion of hereditary syphilis and the implications of maternal treatment on infants.
Ideal for students, clinicians, and readers seeking a concise history of early 20th-century syphilis therapy and its practical implications.

Excerpt from The Therapy of Syphilis Its Development and Present Position
These results were first practically applied in confirming the diagnosis of syphilis. To Erich Hoffmann is due the service of having again and again referred to the extraordinary diagnostic importance of the presence of S. Pallida in doubtful cases of disease.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Therapy of Syphilis Its Development and Present Position
It is not to exact scientific research that we owe a number of the best and most effectual of our drugs used in combating infectious diseases, but instead to rough empiricism. I may mention here quinine, iodine, salicylic acid, mercury and arsenic.
The phrase "practice surpasses theory" has even now a certain justification; and indeed, in the present era of exact experimental therapy, we cannot quite dispense with these unscientific - sounding words.
