Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a full account of childhood blindness associated with ophthalmia neonatorum. The author traces its history, discusses its causes and incidence, and details the clinical characteristics of the condition. The author also examines the risks of permanent injury, including corneal damage, perforation, and the potential development of nystagmus. Given that ophthalmia neonatorum is heavily linked to gonorrhea, the author emphasizes the contagious nature of the disease and highlights its potential to cause secondary infections. In particular, the author stresses the importance of antepartum inoculation and its dangers to infants' eyes exposed to the bacteria over time. The author concludes by arguing that preventing ophthalmia neonatorum requires a concerted effort, including preventive measures and effective treatment, to protect infants from blindness and its devastating consequences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780265654996_0
