Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a clinical analysis of diphtheria, explores the infectious diseaseâs causes and symptoms, including the âpeculiar odorâ of the breath. Written during a time of rampant diphtheria epidemics, the author draws on firsthand experience to describe the diverse manifestations of the disease, ranging from the milder diphtheria simplex to the more severe diphtheria maligna. The author notes that, while diphtheria can be fatal, patients suffering from the milder form may be up and about, only to be struck by sudden and severe weakness. The discussion extends to how the disease affects children differently than adults. The book's insights provide a vital historical perspective on diphtheria, offering valuable guidance for medical practitioners and historians alike.
