1. Re: [MEDICAL-PEDIGREE] Synocha [1]
Hi Rosemary and All, All I found was the definition, "fever without unconciousness". So, it seems that this was a descriptive of symptoms without knowing what the cause was. I went into my archives and found these tidbits of medical jargon and listing of epidemics that I thought everyone could use. Remember: back then, medicine was so primitive (compared to now!) that symptoms were more the rule of thumb than the cause. Here is a link for old medical terminology. http://members.aol.com/adamCo9991/medic

Hello listers, My first post to this fascinating list. Two of my ancestors, an 8-month-old baby boy and his mother, a 27-year-old woman, died within 2 weeks of each other in 1877, Detroit, MI, and the cause of death is listed as consumption. Could someone give me a good definition for that? Thanks, Debbie
6. [MEDICAL-PEDIGREE] The Great Influenza of 1918-19 [0.990965]
Hello: One of the family stories is that my husband's grandmother died in Manitoba in 1919 of the "Spanish Flu". She was 47 years old. I sent for the death registration, and the cause of death was entered as "Chronic rheumatism with diarrhea and enteritis." The death registration was attached to an "authorization for burial" signed by a coroner. If a person died of the 'Flu, how would the cause of death be described? Has the application of the term "rheumatism" changed since 1919? Thanks, R

CONSUMPTION: tuberculosis, pulmonary Tuberculosis R.P. Gordon asks: What is dying from "Consumption"? Tom Lincoln, M.D. replies: Tuberculosis - The effect of the disease was that of wasting away. George L. Thurston adds: Yes. TB was often referred to as "consumption," but so was dysentery and other "wasting" diseases that rendered their victims a bag of bones before delivering the coup d' grace. Susan Arday says: The risk involved in uncontrolled infectious disease, such as tuberculosis (TB), is striking

10. Re: [MEDICAL-PEDIGREE] Another question.... [0.990965]
ERYSIPELAS is not usually the diagnosis given for blood poisoning. Erysipelas is a skin infection. I quote from Dorland's Illistrated Medical Dictionary " erysipelas (Gr erythos=red pella=skin) A contagious infectious disease of skin and subcutaneous tissue, marked ny redness and swelling of infected areas, and with constitutional symptoms. Sometimes accompanied by vesicular and bullous lesions" (that is sometimes there were raised areas with vesicles or swollen puffy skin). Of couse, this could then

12. [MEDICAL-PEDIGREE] Re: Consumption & Erysipelas [0.990965]
Consumption was used mainly to refer to pulmonary tuberculosis, a disease in which one often wasted away slowly. I have also seen the term loosely applied to any disease in which one slowly lost weight and declined. The fact that both the baby and mother died of the same would likely indicate an infectious agent with Tuberculosis being a likely cause. Erysipelas refers to a bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissues, usually caused by a streptococcus. This presents as a deep red rash

TB Tuberculosis. Fully curable these days after the invention of ??????? in the late 1950's early 1960's. I had to take the drug for a couple of years and remain TB free for 5 years after being diagnosed with Bovine TB originally called Scrofula. It affected the ????? glands in the neck. It was named Consumption due to the fact you wasted away to skin and bones. I was sleeping about 12 to 18 hours a day before going into hospital. The problem started in Greece. I drank a lot of milk that evidently came from

Appears you have one of those situations where some members of the family "assumed" it was the flu whereas she died of something very different. There were so many people expiring due to the flu that the assumption was widespread......."if they died it was the flu that did it". New York City alone had 33,000 flu deaths..

22. [MEDICAL-PEDIGREE] Synocha [0.990965]
Today I received the death certificate for my ggg grandfather James HOLT who died in Bradford, Yorkshire in 1861 at the age of 74. The cause of death was given as 'Synocha Old Age'. Can anybody explain Synocha for me. Googling produces vague references to to fever, one to yellow fever. The Oxford dictionary isn't much more help. What would a likely modern description of his cause of death be? Many thanks Rosemary Ackroyd _________________________________________________________________ E-mail just
