Control of the common infectious diseases

The Enanthem of Glandular Fever

“…acute undifferentiated respiratory disease (Commission on Acute Respiratory Diseases, 1944Diseases, , 1947, influenza (Horsfall, 1952), the typhoid group (Banks, 1949), brucellosis (Spink, 1956), infective hepatitis (Hoagland and Shank, 1946), lymphocytic choriomeningitis (Adair et al, 1953), or any of the recently described benign meningitic or meningoencephalitic illnesses of viral origin (Acheson, 1954;Tyrrell and Snell, 1956;Lyle, 1956;Karzon et al, 1965;Garnett et al, 1957;Rotem, 1957).…”

Modern Trends in Treatment of Acute Infectious Diseases

“…These children have a severe cough with more expectoration and vomits than is usual, often accompanied by a slightly increased respiration rate and a low‐grade evening temperature. They have been shown on bronchoscopic examination to have accumulated viscid mucus in the corresponding bronchi (Banks, 1949). Marquézy and Renault (1949) have shown in their series that bronchograms in such patients demonstrate that their bronchi may still be patent and often dilated, the lipiodol penetrating into the central parts of the lung shadows.…”

Varicella of the Cornea Treated With 5-Iodo-2'-Deoxyuridine

“…VARICELLA of the cornea appears to be a rare complication of the disease (DukeElder, 1938;Banks, 1949). Since the varicella virus is of the DNA-containing group, modification of the course of superficial lesions by means of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IDU) is a possibility, this agent having been used with some success against another DNA-containing virus, that of herpes simplex (Corrigan, Gilkes, and Roberts, 1962;Davidson, 1962;Kaufman, Martola, and Dohlman, 1962;Luntz and MacCallum, 1963).…”
