ISBN: 9780332294698 - a report on two cases of a peculiar form of hand infection, due to an organism resembling the koch-weeks bacillus (classic reprint) (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of two rare cases of finger infection caused by a type of bacteria similar to the type that causes pink eye. The cases occurred in 1903 and were meticulously documented by the author, a hospital surgeon. The patients involved were initially treated with various methods, including incision and drainage, but these treatments were largely unsuccessful. The author's detailed observations and experiments eventually led to the identification of the causative organism, which was found to be a small rod-shaped bacteria. The book provides a thorough examination of the clinical manifestations, bacteriological findings, and experimental studies related to this unique infection. It also discusses the broader context of acute finger infections and the challenges faced in their management during the early 20th century. The book's insights shed light on the complexities of bacterial infections and the importance of understanding their specific characteristics for effective treatment.
