Since this report, on the first case of this type to be recognized in the United States and the first to be recorded in English, increasing interest in the polycythemias secondary to chronic pulmonary disorders and to lesions of the pulmonary artery has been manifested in this country and in South America. In this particular group the essential cause of polycythemia appears to be chronic anoxemia which stimulates the...Bibliography1.
