In 1872 Daae1 in Norway described an epidemic characterized by the sudden occurrence of violent pain in the lower part of the thorax without concomitant signs in the chest. The pain tended to spread to the abdomen on the same side and sometimes involved the back and limbs. With this there was fever. The attack lasted but a day or so, with a tendency to recurrence once or twice within a few days. Daae spoke of the disease as epidemic muscular rheumatism. Two years later Finsen reported having observed epidemics of this character in Iceland in 1856 and 1863 and was the first to speak of this disease as epidemic pleurodynia. But little further was heard of the disease in Europe until 1930, when Sylvest's paper about a similar epidemic in Bornholm aroused so much interest that the disease was made reportable in Denmark, and 10,000 cases were reported
