Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1880, Vol. 80 Let us now take a set of cases in which striking pathological changes were discovered. Case i.-this was a case of a single lady, aged 43, seen by one of us in connection with an eminent physician of Philadelphia. She had been at times under his care for a year with dyspeptic symptoms, but otherwise appeared in fair health there was not a particle of dropsy. Spending the summer at the sea-shore, she had not been under observation immediately before the fatal illness, and sent for her physician in consequence of nausea and vomiting and some shortness of breath. A marked pericardial friction sound was detected, and an examination of the urine showed it to contain about. One-third of the test-tube full of albumen and granular tube-casts. The malady became now as markedly vehement as previously it had been latent; twitching of the muscles, followed by general convulsions, set in. These were succeeded by urzemic coma, and death took place in about a week after the development of the pericarditis.
