  • MACROCYTIC ANEMIA IN BANTFS DISEASE *
    2016
    Co-Authors: New Orleans
    Abstract:

    A N enormous literature has accumulated since Banti first described the three-stage syndrome to which his name has become the eponym. In re-viewing countless descriptions that have appeared throughout the years, one finds the almost universal, and at times dogmatic, statement that the accompanying anemia is of the normo- or microcytic type. A case of Banti's disease which shifted while under observation from a microcytic hypochromic type of anemia to one that closely resembled pernicious anemia during remission, has emphasized the fallibility of this statement. The purpose of this communication is to call attention to and suggest a possible explanation for this very definite metamorphosis. CASE REPORT F. B., a white male, aged 35, was first admitted to the ward October 9, 1933, com-plaining chiefly of universal pruritus. General malaise, lassitude and some slight loss of weight had been more or less progressive for at least a year. Two or three months before admission jaundice and pruritus made their appearance. His past and family histories revealed no relevant facts. He was a man of good development but only in a fair state of nutrition. He had a very slight icteric tinge to the sclerae. Blood pressure was 126 systolic and 80 diastolic; pulse 80; respiration 16; temperature 98°. The liver was palpable 2 or 3 cm. below the costal margin. The spleen was enlarged and very firm, extending almost to the umbilicus. A gastroinTestinal roentgen series failed to indicate any gastric lesion other than pressure due to the enlarged spleen. Blood chemical Tests were within normal limits. The Wassermann Test was negative. The fragility Test was within normal limits. Urinalysis showed: sp. gr. 1.022, trace of bile, occasional pus cell and hyaline cast. The blood picture at this time showed

  • The introduction of diagnostic and treatment innovations for syphilis in postwar VD policy : «L'expérience belge»
    2021
    Co-Authors: Neefs Hans
    Abstract:

    In this article, the introduction of the Wassermann Test and arsenic-based drugs in Belgian post-war venereal disease (VD) policy is discussed (for the period 1900-1930). Pre-war advances in clinical medicine, the development of the Wassermann Test and arsenical drugs, as well as war conditions, were important in putting syphilis onto the public agenda in Belgium. However, the way in which new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and devices were incorporated within post-war VD policy depended on the reconciliation of a range of political, professional and moral agendas of interested health-political parties. Finally, a successful post-war VD policy depicted in terms of «The Belgian Experience» is discussed
