A Case of Acute Miliary Tuberculosis

چکیده
G. J., aged 20, a labourer, was admitted on October 5th, 1896, complaining of pains in the abdomen, chiefly on the right side in the iliac region, of pains in the back, and also occasionally of pains in the penis when making water. He had also a slight cough. The pains prevented him from working; he attended as an out-patient for a short time, and as he was found to have some fever, and the pains did not improve under treatment, he was admitted. The family history was good, and there was no evidence of tuberculosis. In March, 1896, he contracted enteric fever, and was laid up for two months; otherwise he had always been perfectly healthy. On admission, he was well nourished : slightly dusky in aspect. He appeared weak; his temperature was ioi? ; pulse-rate, 112 ; respirationrate, 28; tougue somewhat furred; bowels constipated. The chest was well formed and expanded well. There was a little deficient resonance, harshness of breath-sounds, and increased vocal resonance at the right apex: and over the left lung in front a few moist sounds
