Synopsis

This book brings together a collection of research papers from the Department of Health in New York City, that investigate the diagnostic methods and treatments of various diseases such as rabies, diphtheria, and scarlet fever. The introduction of Negri bodies as a reliable diagnostic tool for rabies is a major theme of the book. The author describes experiments in both animals and humans, exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of antitoxins for diphtheria, tetanus, and hydrophobia. In addition to describing the rapid detection of the Negri bodies, the author highlights progress in diphtheria antitoxin concentration and purification, providing a comprehensive analysis of the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods in these communicable diseases. These papers chronicle significant advances in the fight against infectious diseases in the early 20th century, laying the groundwork for continued research and improved public health outcomes.
