Multiple Benign Superficial Epithelioma

Anaemia Associated with Trauma and Sepsis

“…A few similar cases associated with severe sepsis in burns have been described (Brown et al, 1944). Rare cases of hyperchromic megalocytic anaemia unassociated with lesions of the gastro-intestinal tract have also been reported in tertiary syphilis (Tauber and Goldman, 1935). Blackfan and Diamond (1944) observed 15 infants between the ages of 4 and 16 months in whom a severe megalocytic anaemia developed in association with acute infection and was corrected by the parenteral administration of liver extract.…”

“…In tertiary syphilis moderate hypochromic anaemia may occur, particularly in untreated cases. It is less pronounced than in the primary and secondary stages (Rosahn and Pearce, 1934;Tauber and Goldman, 1935). In rheurn -tic fever the cell size, the mean corpuscular haemoglobin, and the mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration in one large series varied from low to normal values (Hubbard and McKee, 1939).…”
