Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Commission of Medical Officers: Detailed by Authority of the President to Investigate He Cause of Yellow Fever The Secretary Of The Treasury. Sir: I have the honor to invite your attention to the announcement of Dr. Guiseppe Sanarelli, of Montevideo, who alleges to have discovered the specific cause of yellow fever. The researches leading to this discovery were published first in full in the annals of the Pasteur Institute. On carefully analyzing his results, especially his comparative experiments, one is bound to come to the conclusion that they are the researches bearing the stamp of a painstaking and conscientious observer. It appears more than probable that Dr. Sanarelli has discovered the germ of yellow fever. The claims made by Sanarelli are of such a character that they are difficult to refute, even if there were a desire to do so, by reason of the fact that they are marked with thoroughness and clearness which admits but little question, and although some of the statements made with regard to the etiology and pathology and prophylaxis of yellow fever are in striking contrast with the present preconceived notions, they are not sufficient to invalidate his claims. Should his alleged discovery prove to be true, it is one of the greatest boons which has been given to the world since Koch announced the cause of tuberculosis and of cholera, and may now make it possible to apply even more successful measures in the prevention and treatment of yellow fever than of other acutely contagious diseases. The discovery is one of the most vital interest and importance to the United States. More than 20,000,000 of our population live in a section of country which possesses all the natural conditions for the disease to become epidemic if once introduced. To prevent this the Government is compelled to maintain large and numerous quarantine establishments for the purpose of guarding against its introduction, and entailing expenses and hardship upon our maritime commerce. By this discovery it seems more than probable that many of the restrictions now imposed may be dispensed with, since it is possible to deal with a known entity. With these possibilities in view it would seem advisable to send an expert to investigate and confirm the claims of Dr. Sanarelli in order that the advantages of this alleged discovery may be made available to the people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prevention of Yellow Fever in Florida and the South: A Paper Read Before the Baltimore Academy of Medicine, December 4, 1888 Corollary. An unsanitary condition gives a chance and a half for yellow fever. A sanitary condition gives none. I know that it Is held by many physicians that a rigid quaran tine is the best preventive against yellow fever. That the disease is spread by germs is true but that it is impossible to prevent the introduction of germs from abroad by the present modes of quarantine, is fully proved by the past. In the first place it is necessary to know what places are to be quarantined against. But the germs may be brought from a place where the yellow fever Is not known to exist. To prevent panic, and the loss of trade, the first appearance of the disease is invariably kept secret, in the hope that it may be stamped out before it becomes epi demic, and thus the germs may be scattered far and wide before any warning is given.' Then the system of quarantine now in use is so onerous, that all means are tried to evade it; and if but one person passes having the germs of disease, all the labor and annoyance has been in vain.

Download or read book Report on Yellow Fever in Ohio written by Thomas Chalmers Minor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Yellow Fever in Ohio: As It Appeared During the Summer of 1878 In the face of recent developments the writer is obliged to change the Opinion held prior to 187 8. The epidemlc outbreak at Gallipolis, during September of the present year, is most certainly proof positive that the disease, under certain favorable conditions, may become epidemic in this State. Grave doubt is also thrown on the statement of Drake, that the Gallipolis outbreak of 1796 was not one of yellow fever. History repeats itself; and, in the future, many writers will be disposed to think that the form of disease, manifested, at Gallipolis in 1796, was identical with that which appeared in 1878. The Views of the writer have been materially modified as before stated, within the short space of one year. Some little personal experience with the disease during the summer just past has caused this radical change of opinion.

Download or read book The American Plague written by Molly Caldwell Crosby and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-09-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this account, a journalist traces the course of the infectious disease known as yellow fever, “vividly [evoking] the Faulkner-meets-Dawn of the Dead horrors” (The New York Times Book Review) of this killer virus. Over the course of history, yellow fever has paralyzed governments, halted commerce, quarantined cities, moved the U.S. capital, and altered the outcome of wars. During a single summer in Memphis alone, it cost more lives than the Chicago fire, the San Francisco earthquake, and the Johnstown flood combined. In 1900, the U.S. sent three doctors to Cuba to discover how yellow fever was spread. There, they launched one of history's most controversial human studies. Compelling and terrifying, The American Plague depicts the story of yellow fever and its reign in this country—and in Africa, where even today it strikes thousands every year. With “arresting tales of heroism,” (Publishers Weekly) it is a story as much about the nature of human beings as it is about the nature of disease.

Chapter 6, Arenaviruses: The biochemical and physical properties have now been clar ified, and they show a remarkable uniformity in the various viruses constituting the group. The possibility that prenatal infection with LCM may result in hydrocephalus and chorioretinitis has been raised. Serologic surveys have suggested the existence of Lassa virus infection in Guinea, Central African Empire, Mali, Senegal, Cameroon, and Benin, in addition to earlier identification in Nigeria, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Chapter 7, Coronaviruses: New studies have confirmed the important role of these viruses in common respiratory illnesses of children and adults. The viruses are now known to contain a single positive strand of RNA. About 50% of corona virus infections result in clinical illness. About 5% of common colds are caused by strain DC 43 in winter. Chapter 8, Cytomegalovirus: Sections on pathogenesis of CMV in relation to organ transplantation and mononucleosis, as well as sections on the risk and features of con genital infection and disease, have been expanded. There are encouraging preliminary results with a live CMV vaccine, but the questions of viral persistence and oncogenicity require further evaluation.
