Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the medical condition termed 'cholera infantum,' an acute gastrointestinal catarrh affecting children, marked by severe diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, and rapid wasting. The author notes the disease's peak occurrence during summer months, especially in crowded cities with poor sanitation. Highlighting the role of environmental factors like improper feeding and excessive heat, the book discusses cholera infantum's similarities to Asiatic cholera and suggests a bacterial origin, though no specific organism has been identified. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing the disease's distinct symptoms and its potential severity, as it can rapidly lead to prostration and even death.
