PLASTIC PLEURISY IN INFANCY

PLASTIC PLEURISY IN INFANCY ETIOLOGY The time has passed when the subject of pulmonary and pleuropulmonary congestions was a live controversy, and when extensive reports were devoted to the description of the condition.

Abstract

ETIOLOGY The time has passed when the subject of pulmonary and pleuropulmonary congestions was a live controversy, and when extensive reports were devoted to the description of the condition.

All these terms really meant the same thing, and none of this old terminology is now used. The terminology of the French pediatricians, Besancon and de Jong, is the one now adopted.
