The American Journal Of The Medical Sciences Volume 8 PDF Download

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 95: January, 1888 The inception Of the process was shown in the sudden development of a diffuse redness, more usually upon the lower half Of the face about the mouth, but this could also occur upon any other portion of the body or might be universal from the very first. From its starting-point, this hyperaemia spread rapidly and continuously or appeared in patches here and there, finally, however, becoming universal in a very short space of time or ina few days. As a rule, the extremities were the last to be affected. The mucous membranes Of the mouth and nose participated sometimes in the process, and fissures formed at the corners Of the former; the conjunctivae were usually affected. The color Of the skin varied from a light to a dark purple red. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
