Synopsis

Excerpt from Army Medical Department Report for the Year 1897, Vol. 39: With Appendix

Certain parasitic affections, such as scabies, phthiriasis, ringworm, &c., formerly returned as parasitic diseases of the skin, will, in future, be included with other parasitic invasions.

The affections known as scrofulous should now be returned under the heading of tubercle, and for military purposes it is desirable that cases of tubercular disease of the lung should be enumerated separately.

Among local diseases, the term palpitation and irregularity of the action of the heart is replaced by disordered action of the heart. Phthisis is now shown only as acute and chronic, the term pneumonic phthisis being expunged.

The introduction of the term soft chancre is important; in future, only cases of non-venereal origin will be recorded as ulcer of penis.

Among diseases of the organs of locomotion, the term myalgia has been adopted.

It will not be necessary to return cases of fracture, contusion, wound, sprain, &c., separately, according to the anatomical system affected, the only definitions necessary in the sick returns being, fracture of skull, fracture of spine, and of other bones wounds, gunshot, and other wounds.
