Pink Disease: its Morbid Anatomy, with a Note on Treatment

Abstract

In its clinical aspect, pink disease has received a great amount of attention, as can be seen from the abundant case reports in the literature. Its pathological investigation, however, has been served less well, for, although most of the symptoms point to a nervous disorder, very few autopsies have included a microscopic examination of the nervous system. The main object, therefore, of this paper is to record the results of the histological examination of the nervous system in seven cases of pink disease.
