Vasomotor Reactions in Mental Disorders, with special reference to the Hæmoclastic Crisis

Abstract

The hæmoclastic crisis is the name given by Widal and his col laborators to the vasculo-sanguinary crisis which occurs following the ingestion of milk by patients with hepatic disease and in certain anaphylactic conditions, and was originally described as a test for liver inefficiency. Its occurrence has also been noted in certain cases of psychoses and epilepsy.
