In the end, he would for two pins have taken rail himself to Glasgow, where in even the most insanitary hospital wards pyaemia, erysipelas and hospital gangrene had been well nigh stamped out. ❋ Unknown (2003)

Such terrible scourges as pyaemia and hospital gangrene were rife in all of them. ❋ George Henry Blore (N/A)

The hospitals on both sides were left with a ghastly heritage of pyaemia and other diseases, raging almost unchecked in their wards; but, in the two years after the war, two of the most famous professors in German Universities [48] had by antiseptic methods obtained such striking results among their patients that the superiority of the treatment was evident; and both of them generously gave full credit to Lister as their teacher. ❋ George Henry Blore (N/A)

The patients came from streets which often were foul with dirt, smoke, and disease, and were admitted to gloomy airless wards, where pyaemia or gangrene were firmly established. ❋ George Henry Blore (N/A)

In pyaemia the animal may live from a few days to several months. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)

Various wound infections, including septicaemia, pyaemia, acute abscesses, ulcers, erysipelas, etc., are produced by a few forms of micrococci, resembling each other in many points but differing slightly. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

-- Congestion and inflammation of the kidneys commonly occur in mixed and specific infectious diseases, such as septicaemia, pyaemia and influenza. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)

The bacteria that cause pyaemia are transferred by the blood stream to different organs and produce multiple abscesses. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)

For instance, a considerable number of different types of blood poisoning, septicaemia, pyaemia, gangrene, inflammation of wounds, or formation of pus from slight skin wounds -- indeed, a host of miscellaneous troubles, ranging all the way from a slight pus formation to a violent and severe blood poisoning -- all appear to be caused by bacteria, and it is impossible to make out any definite species associated with the different types of these troubles. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

-- The term commonly used in speaking of simple septicaemia and pyaemia is blood poisoning. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)

Of far greater importance is the simultaneous discovery of the cause of puerperal fever (pyaemia) by Ignaz Philipp ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)

Referring to pyaemia, or blood - poisoning, he was not content to affirm the disappearance of these formidable maladies from the hospital to which he was attached, but went on to declare their disappearance altogeher. ❋ Albert Leffingwell (1880)

"An 'what' ud they be, then, if it wasn't the bacillus of pyaemia?" ❋ Grant Allen (1873)

Page 201 it should never be performed in any Hospital in which pyaemia, hospital gangrene, erysipelas, or cholera prevails as an epidemic, or upon those whose systems are below the standard of health. ❋ Unknown (1863)

And the result, in his hospital practice, as described by himself, has been, that even in the midst of abominations too shocking to be mentioned here, and in the neighbourhood of wards where death was rampant from pyaemia, erysipelas, and hospital gangrene, he was able to keep his patients absolutely free from these terrible scourges. ❋ John Tyndall (1856)

The actual cause of death was pyaemia, (the absorption of the matter in the system instead of its discharge.) ❋ Unknown (1855)

Sequestrum of chronic osteomyelitis: a. septicemia or pyaemia. a. new bone formation due irritation of periosteum of b. subcutaneous abscess with sinus discharging pus. inflamed bone. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Previously to its introduction the two large wards in which most of my cases of accident and of operation are treated were among the unhealthiest in the whole surgical division of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, in consequence apparently of those wards being unfavorably placed with reference to the supply of fresh air; and I have felt ashamed when recording the results of my practice, to have so often to allude to hospital gangrene or pyaemia. ❋ Unknown (2005)
