Generally, also, a downright fact may be told in a plain way; and we want downwright facts at present more than anything else." -RUSKIN. T has been a mooted point until within the last few years whether young children, and especially infants ever really suffer from typhoid fever. In the last edition of Holt the opinion is expressed that it is very rare in children because in an enormous number of autopsies the characteristic typhoid ulcerations in the intestine were not found. Northrup, especially, has declared very positively that he had not seen one case of typhoid fever in over twenty-two thousand cases of illness in children, on twelve hundred of which he had performed autopsies. However, more refined methods of diagnosis made possible by perfected technique in isolating the Eberth's bacillus from the stools, blood and urine, and the greater familiarity with proper methods of conducting the Widal serum test law, enabled clinicians to determine the presence of typhoid fever many times in infants and very young children when the older methods of diagnosis were inadequate. Of course very young children and babies in arms are, to a certain extent, protected from infection because their food is not so likely to be contaminated with typhoid germs. Then their milk_and water is so frequently boiled or pasturized before being ingested. * Read before the Louisville Clinical Society. |
