Bertha, in her expiring effort for breath, had raised upon her knees in bed, when suddenly, as in the other case, she raised her hands, her face illumined with the 'light that is not seen upon sea or land,' and she said in a strong, clear whisper -- for her vocal cords were so involved in the diphtheritic membranes that her voice was gone completely -- 'O mamma! ❋ Unknown (N/A)
If death, apparently from diphtheritic toxæmia, ensues, inoculate two more guinea pigs with a similar quantity of the lethal culture. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
The difficulty here again is that if we wait till the diphtheritic membrane covers the whole throat, antitoxin will not be of much use. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
If the mouth is examined at this time, an accumulation of mucus and patches of diphtheritic or false membranes are found. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
In many cases the mucous membrane appeared to be superficially necrosed, and covered with diphtheritic patches. ❋ Various (N/A)
There are several varieties of proctitis recognized as the exciting cause of abscess and fistula, namely, traumatic, dysenteric, diphtheritic, gonorrheal, catarrhal, etc. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
She was in the last extremity with diphtheritic croup. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Yet to-day we have people who do not believe in vaccination or in anti-diphtheritic serum. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Doctors have found that the expulsive vomiting provoked by doses of the _Sedum acre_ (Betony stone-crop), will serve in diphtheria to remove such false membrane clinging in patches to the throat and tonsils, [277] as threatens suffocation: and after this release afforded by copious vomiting, the diphtheritic foci are prevented from forming again. ❋ William Thomas Fernie (N/A)
A diphtheritic patient should be quarantined, and everything connected with the sick room thoroughly disinfected. ❋ Joel Dorman Steele (N/A)
The diphtheritic child who is strangling to death with a diphtheritic membrane in its throat is not permitted by the physician to be left to the benevolent being's will, nor to the prayers of the parents. ❋ David Marshall Brooks (N/A)
Many of the best physicians of the day consider true or membranous croup to be due to this diphtheritic membranous disease thus located in the larynx or trachea. ❋ B.G. Jefferis (N/A)
It is called "false" croup, because "true" croup is always diphtheritic and is a very serious disease. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
It is characterized by a catarrhal and diphtheritic inflammation of the mucous membranes of the head. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
While the throat or nose is the seat of disease, the toxins from these most dreaded diphtheritic microbes spread through the lymph channels and the blood vessels to the heart itself -- so weakening that organ that it sometimes suddenly fails, or becomes more or less crippled for life. ❋ William S. Sadler (N/A)
"In short measures, life may perfect be": little Sam died of diphtheritic croup, May 17, 1863. ❋ Maud Howe Elliott (1915)
Intubation is treacherous and unreliable except in diphtheritic cases; but in the diphtheritic cases it is ideal, if constant skilled watching can be had. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
As a rule, when a convalescent diphtheritic patient cannot be extubated two weeks after three negative cultures have been obtained the advisability of a low tracheotomy should be considered. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
He took a culture and said he would let Mr. -- Mr. What's-His-Name know whether there was anything diphtheritic. ❋ George Barr McCutcheon (1897)
