Chapter III: Part 3

The author discusses the differential diagnosis between erysipelas and œdema neonatorum. He quotes a passage from Strümpell, as well as a case of his own, to show that fever sometimes appears after the eruption in erysipelas. He further records the fact that there had been a great deal of infectious illness in the house before the birth of this child—severe measles, whooping-cough complicated by empyema, ulcerated throats with otitis media—whilst the mother developed parametritis on the second day.
