On Diseases of the Skin, Including the Exanthemata (Volume 3) (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXIX. (class Vi.--Div. Iii. (a.)--Continued.) 2. Elephantiasis Arabum. Pachydermia (Fuchs); Elephantopus; Das Knollbein; Barbadoes-leg; Barbadosbein; Cochinbein; Bucnemia tropica (Mason Good); Die Driisenkrankbeit von Barbados (Hendy und Rollo); Roosbeen von Surinam (holl.); Hypersarcosis (Kampfer); Sarcoma mucosum (M. Aur. Severinus); Spargosis fibro-areolaris (Wilson). History.--Instead of giving an exhaustive account of the voluminous literature and of the history of Elephantiasis Arabum, it appears much more in accordance with the object of a Handbook like the present, to remove the confusion which was produced by the multiplicity of the names and characteristics employed by authors in relation to this malady, and which still exists partly at the present time. Even in the most recent times, Elephantiasis Arabum and Elephantiasis Graecorum, Lepra Arabum and Lepra Grsecorum are still confounded with one another by physicians and writers. This is the case with Hecker, for instance, who in an otherwise valuable monographf not only makes a fundamental mistake in naming the disease, but also errs in his description of its characters. When they began in the middle ages, especially in the 13th Though, the name, Pachydermia, proposed by Fuchs, appears less misleading and more likely to guard against confusion than that of Elephantiasis Arabum, yet we have felt compelled to prefer the latter title; because pachydermia indicates, rather, a matured morbid product, elephantiasis a morbid process. That which we purpose to describe represents, however, as matter of fact, a series of morbid processes, of which the pachydermia can only be regarded as the final product. t C. F.
