Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the discovery and examination of a bacterial disease prevalent in world war 1 troops in Belgium, known as Weil's disease. The author, a captain in the British army, meticulously details the signs, symptoms, pathology, and treatment of the condition. The book highlights the confusion surrounding the disease, initially known as "infectious jaundice," as it manifested without the presence of the yellowish skin discoloration typically associated with jaundice. The author's research contributed to the identification of the spirochete causing the disease and its differentiation from other forms of jaundice and hepatitis. The extensive research conducted on the disease and its causative agent has led to a deeper understanding of its transmission, diagnosis, and treatment, providing valuable insights for both medical professionals and historians interested in the evolution of medical knowledge during wartime.
