ERYTHROBLASTOSIS IN THE NEW-BORN

ERYTHROBLASTOSIS IN THE NEW-BORN Edema of the new-born was described as far back as the seventeenth century. In 1892 Ballantyne1 presented an excellent dissertation on this disease, and reviewed the literature, from which be collected about sixty cases. Edema with disturbance of the hematopoietic organs was first noticed by Schriddle2 in 1910; since then many reports have been published, most of which are in the German literature. A case probably of icterus gravis was reported in 1873, but the credit for describing the disease as being familial belongs to Pfannenstiel,3 who in 1908 reported two fatal cases and reviewed the literature. Buchan and Comrie4 reported the morbid anatomy in five cases found in two families. This report was the first in which nucleated red cells were described. Rautman5 first used the term erythroblastosis to describe the underlying condition found in general edema of the fetus. I. A.

Abstract

Edema of the new-born was described as far back as the seventeenth century. In 1892 Ballantyne1 presented an excellent dissertation on this disease, and reviewed the literature, from which be collected about sixty cases. Edema with disturbance of the hematopoietic organs was first noticed by Schriddle2 in 1910; since then many reports have been published, most of which are in the German literature. A case probably of icterus gravis was reported in 1873, but the credit for describing the disease as being familial belongs to Pfannenstiel,3 who in 1908 reported two fatal cases and reviewed the literature. Buchan and Comrie4 reported the morbid anatomy in five cases found in two families. This report was the first in which nucleated red cells were described. Rautman5 first used the term erythroblastosis to describe the underlying condition found in general edema of the fetus. I. A. Abt6
