EPIDEMICS I AND III

EPIDEMICS I

FOURTEEN CASES

[p. 205]

The patient became a little easier, and was more rational.

Seventeenth day. Urine thin again ; painful swellings by both ears. No sleep ; wandering ; pain in the legs.

Twentieth day. A crisis left the patient free from fever ; no sweating ; quite rational. About the twenty-seventh day violent pain in the right hip, which quickly ceased. The swellings by the ears neither subsided nor suppurated, but continued painful. About the thirty-first day diarrhéa with copious, watery discharges and signs of dysentery. Urine thick ; the swellings by the ears subsided.

Fortieth day. Pain in the right eye ; sight rather impaired ; recovery.

CASE XI

The wife of Dromeades, after giving birth to a daughter, when everything had gone normally, on the second day was seized with rigor ; acute fever. On the first day she began to feel pain in the region of the hypochondrium ; nausea ; shivering ; restless ; and on the following days did not sleep. Respiration rare, large, interrupted at once as by an inspiration.
As we might say, "with a catch in it."

Second day from rigor. Healthy action of the bowels. Urine thick, white, turbid, like urine which has settled, stood a long time, and then been stirred up. It did not settle. No sleep at night.

Third day. At about mid-day rigor ; acute fever ; urine similar ; pain in the hypochondrium ; nausea ; an uncomfortable night without sleep ; a cold sweat all over the body, but the patient quickly recovered heat.
