16623Medicine Manuscript medical notebook on diseases vaccination and treatment. Pennsylvania. The first dated entry is "Sept. 23 1918". Quarto. Cloth boards 304 lined pages with 202 filled with medical handwritten notes."A. Schumacher" ownership signature on inside cover. This large notebook includes 202 pages of handwritten entries from a medical student largely on the treatment and prognosis of virulent infectious agents that are both very contagious and very virulent. World War I was a key transition point in scientific medicine and the treatment of disease. Medical officers incorporated Louis Pasteur's discoveries into their understanding of microorganisms as the cause of infectious diseases which were therefore susceptible to rational control and treatment measures even in the pre-antibiotic era. In 1918 Smallpox wasstill one of the deadliest diseases-- about 30% of cases ended in death-- and the smallpox entry in particular is extremely detailed; going over "Etiology."The infection is usually transmitted by direct contact or it may be transmitted by a 3rd person . unless protected by vaccination every one is susceptible to the contagion the colored race is especially pre-disposed . A protozone is supposed to be the cause of the disease . the Cytorrliyetes Variollae Protozone." "Symptoms" "Pathology" "Varieties" "Prognosis" "Complications" "Diagnosis" and more of smallpox in all its known forms in 1918 including notes on vaccination and quarantine protocols : "Discreet" "Confluent" "Purpuric" and "Vauloid". During the 20th century it is estimated that smallpox was responsible for 300-500 million deaths "in confluent cases its very grave . in purpuric rash the prognosis is hopeless" <br/><br/>While the entire manuscript is notable for its clarity and detail. First the manuscript goes over "Discreet" smallpox "An acute contagious disease characterized by sudden onset. An eruption passing successively through the stages of macule papule vesicle pustule and crust. The high fever exhibiting a distinct remission on 3rd of 4th day . The development of the rash from one form of lesion to another is due to a peculiar degeneration of the epithelial cell. The lesion is known as a Pox . These are found all over the body- frequently in the mouth asophiagus Larynx and nose . onset manifested by a chill vomiting high fever headache and intense lumbar pains . the temperature rises suddenly to 103-104 degree for 3 days or until the eruption appears then it falls several degrees. Remission is accompanied by a marked or marshall improvement in the symptoms until the rash becomes pustule then the fever returns. This second remission is marked by fluctuations ever few hours until the beginning of desquamation . the true rash appears on the 3r and 4th day first in the forehead and wristsm spreads rapidly over he entire body and begins in small red macules which are quickly transfmormed into small hard papules. At the end of 2 days these papules become clean vesicles centrally depressed . in the course of 2 or 3 weeks the crusts or scales separate forming permanent pits or "pock" marks" then smallpox's "confluent form" "The papules are abundant . the second fever is high of long duration lesions develop in the air passages . fetted discharge from nose throat produce hoarseness cough delirium stupor often result. If the patient does recover it is often after a tedious convalescence. There is great facial disfigurement usually defected hearing" its "Perpuric forms" "In sorry cases the disease is ushered in with high fever . bleeding from mucus membranes . death ensues before a true rash appears. In such cases the disease proceeds like the ordinary form up to the pustular stage then the pustules become perfused with blood . this form is also usually fatal." and finally its "Vauloid form" . The student then goes over a complete prognosis "depends on the virulence of the epidemic . in all the vaccinated the mortality ranges between 20 & 60%." and treatment "Complete isolation preferably a special hospital . disinfection of everything that came in contact with the Patient Vaccination of everyone that was around the patient . use hot water bags or ice bags . if no relief give Opium Chlorals or Bromides.". As well as the smallpox account the medical notebook includes sections on other virulent diseases such as Scarlet Fever "Recovery is the rule in uncomplicated cases. Complications may make the prognosis grave . Patient should be quarantined for at least 4 weeks from onset of disease. The sick room should be well ventilated and moderately darkened. Child should be in bed at least 2 weeks."; German Measles Rubella "An acute contagious disease resembling both scarlet fever and measles . The disease is highly contagious . it maybe transmitted by contact . it is epidemic and one attack confers immunity."; and many others.
