About acute septic diseases of internal organs

Abstract

The clinical picture of any infectious disease is, as is known, a reflection of the struggle between two principles a microorganism and a macroorganism; each of them has its own specific characteristics, and as a result of this, even such pronounced diseases with a specific pathogen, such as relapsing fever, malaria, cholera and typhoid fever, give in each individual case different options, sometimes representing difficult diagnostic tasks. I will only recall at least the last epidemic of typhoid fever in Moscow, when, for example, there were cases where recognition fluctuated for a long time between pneumonia and typhoid fever and only a serological reaction and the further course of the disease clarified the true state of affairs. If this is the case with infections, where there is a certain, specific pathogen, then in acute septic diseases of the internal organs, we can expect a much greater variety of the picture, course and outcome of the disease.
