死于 丹毒(erysipelas)
【概述】
丹毒是皮肤及其网状淋巴管的急性炎症.好发于下肢和面部.其临床表现为起病急,局部出现界限清楚之片状红疹,颜色鲜红,并稍隆起,压之褪色.皮肤表面紧张炽热,迅速向四周蔓延,有烧灼样痛.伴高热畏寒及头痛等.
针灸治疗本病的现代报道,虽在五十、六十年即有,但例数少且多为内部资料[1].1959年3 月10日,上海“新闻日报”曾刊载耳针治疗本病的通讯.最近十余年来,有关文献开始迅速增多.一糸列工作证实,针灸对本病是确有效果的.有人曾对各种软组织炎症进行疗效分析,发现针灸对蜂窝织炎和丹毒收效最快[3]；另有人治疗急性发作的丹毒,平均治愈天数仅为9.6天[4].而穴位刺激法上则以剌血法用得最为广泛.
【病因】
丹毒的病原菌为A族B型镕血性链球菌,偶有C型或c型链球菌所致.多由皮肤或黏膜的破损处而侵入,也可由血行感染,故鼻部炎症、抠鼻、掏耳、足解等因素常成为丹毒的诱因,病原茵可潜伏于淋巴管内引起复发.其他如营养不良、过分酗酒、丙种球蛋白缺陷及肾性水肿等皆可为丹毒的促发因素.
In 1928,shortly after returning from a visiting professorship at the California Institute of Technology,Hendrik Antoon Lorentz died rather unexpectedly and suddenly of Erysipelas,an acute bacterial infection of the skin.His funeral took place in Haarlem at noon on Friday,February 10.At the stroke of twelve the State telegraph and telephone services of Holland were suspended for three minutes as a tribute to the deceased.The funeral procession,consisting of 15 horse-drawn carriages drew crowds of ten thousands of spectators.Present at the funeral were many famous physicists,among whom Albert Einstein and Sir Ernest Rutherford
