Description: Excerpt from Outlines of Papers Presented by the Reporters on Questions Assigned for Discussion in the Sections, 1876 Preliminary remarks on the mortality of armies from disease, with comments on the comparison recently drawn by Professor Virchow between the mortality of the United States armies during the late civil war and that of the German armies during the war with France. Fatality of camp fevers during the American civil war. General belief among medical officers early in the war that these fevers represented "a new type of disease." History of the introduction of the term typho-malarial fever. The proposition submitted that whenever great armies campaign in malarial regions the prevalent fevers are hybrids, between malarial fevers and some form of typhus. Historical illustrations from (a) the siege of Naples, 1528; (b) the Hungarian campaigns, from 1526 to 1788; (c) the morbus mucosus of Roederer and Wagler; (d) the Walchern expedition of 1809; (e) Virchow's comments on the fevers of the German army in France. Remarks on the distribution of malarial fevers and of typhoid fever in the United States, and on their relation to season of year. Substitution of malarial fevers in particular regions, or at particular times, by typhoid. Early recognition of hybrid forms by Drake. Recognition of similar hybrids by European authors as well as by Americans. The typho-malarial fever of the civil war. This term never meant to represent a specific type of fever, but intended to designate all the many-faced brood of hybrid forms resulting from the combined influence of the causes of malarial fevers and of enteric fever. Sketch of symptoms and pathological anatomy. Two great groups of cases; those in which the malarial element predominates, and those in which the typhoid element predominates. The scorbutic taint as a complication of either group during the civil war. Adoption of the author's views since the close of the war by systematic writers.
