Abstract

In this communication I have brought forward observations more or less personal, and desire them to be discussed by others, In children hepatic cirrhosis is a disease which occurs with a steady and painless enlargement of the liver and spleen. Irregular fever and gastro-intestinal disturbances (vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation) are present. Ascites and jaundice set in later in the course of the malady and of the two, one may appear earlier than the other, or both may set in almost simultaneously. The condition occurs in India, Mexico, North China and possibly in Japan, where it should be rarer as rice and fish form the national diet. The disease is common in Bengal, Bombay, Madras, and Uttar Pradesh.
