About this Item

Berlin, Verlag von Otto Enslin, 1896, 8°, XII, 333, (1), 3 Fig., 3 lith. plates, Halbleinenband. First Edition! Ernst Grawitz (1860-1911) used (1896) the term "polymorphkernige," and this is to my knowledge its first appearances. However, Grawitz must not have had very strong convictions on the subject, for he frequently reverted to the shorter form. Howell, too, in his textbook of 1897 used " polymorphonucleated leukocyte " interchangeably with " polynucleated." Ehrlich still used " polynukleare " in 1900. Jones (1904) used "fine oxyphiles." Pappenheim frequently used " segmentiertkernige" and " polymerisiertkernige." " Segmentiertkernige " was also used by Dickson (1908). As late as 1929 Stern used " segmentkernige." Ferrata frequently deplored the use of " polynucleare " and used " leucociti polimorfi granulosi " and when writing in German " polymorphkernige "; he was very consistent. By about 1920 the term " polymorphonuclear " interchangeably with " neutrophile " is in practically universal use in English and American medical journals, and in general use elsewhere, though the older terms frequently recur in continental and particularly in German writings and clinical reports. The nomenclature of the eosinophiles has undergone practically no change. Ehrlich named them, and the name has scarcely been challenged. " Oxyphile " and " acidophile " occasionally occur. The term " Mastzellen " introduced by Ehrlich for the basophilic granulocytes was used quite generally in all languages until about 1900. Just who first used the name " basophile " as a substantive is not clear. Many authors in the early twentieth century used " Mast cells (basophiles)" and gradually the clinical reports show more and more often columns headed " Basophiles." At present " Basophile " occurs in English and American writings almost exclusively, while continental Europe employs either, and the Germans prefer Ehrlich's original " Mastzellen." -cf. Sabin.
