Book Description

Excerpt from The Pathology and Treatment of Venereal Diseases Though there are many essential facts lacking for a thoroughly scientific knowledge Of the chancroidal ulcer, much has of late been learned concerning its origin and pathogeny. Nothing in medicine is to-day better demonstrated than that chancroid and syphilis are entirely distinct morbid processes. Syphilis has a distinct virus of its own; chancroid has no essential virus, and may arise de novo independently of contagion, and may be produced by the inoculation Of the products of simple inflammation.
