Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Epidemiological Society of London, Vol. 21
Among other tropical diseases, the various affections whose leading symptom is intestinal ?ux, and which are included under the somewhat elastic names of dysentery, sprue, chronic diarrhoea, colitis, entero-colitis, etc., are, perhaps, the more important of the unsolved etiological problems. Although intestinal ?ux is one of the com monest symptoms in disease, especially in tropical disease, strange to say the cause of the pathological processes which lead to the symptoms are, if we except cholera, absolutely unknown; or, at all events, undetermined.
