Data on prevalence of environmental mycobacteria in loss of weight. India has the largest burden of TB in the world, India are also absent. Both these exposures can continue to and more than half the cases are associated with malnutrition.1,2 increased positivity to TST. Therefore, TST results in India can Stefan Prakash Eicher, born in Maharashtra, India, made this oil often be false positive. No data on these issues are available in In- painting “What Dreams Lie Within” of an emaciated patient with dia so far. TB seen on the streets of New Delhi (Image 1).3 This author conducted a study of skin test responses to a host of mycobacteria in BCG-vaccinated healthy Kuwaiti school children.5 BCG was routinely given to all children at the age of 5 yrs (school-going age). A multiple skin test survey on 1200 children aged 8e11 yrs and on 1228 children aged 12e16 yrs was conducted. All (except 15 children) had taken Japanese BCG vaccine 5 yrse9 yrs before the study was conducted. Tuberculin positivity was 90% in both the groups. This was associated with very high responsiveness to many other environmental mycobacterial antigens as well. It was proposed that such high TST positivity several years after BCG vaccination may be due to responsiveness to group II antigen pre- sent in all slow-growing species.

  • The Decline in Mortality in Philadelphia from 1870 to 1930: the Role of Municipal Services
    The Decline in Mortality in Philadelphia from 1870 to 1930: The Role of Municipal Services HE CHRISTMAS SEASON of 1880 should have been a happy occasion for Charles and Caroline Kautz. Charles, a German T immigrant in his mid-forties, had operated a three-person bakery in the Moyamensing section of Philadelphia over a decade. Caroline, several years his junior and his wife of over fifteen years, had married him during her teens and soon assumed the responsibilities of parenthood. Though Pennsylvania born, Caroline also came from German stock and, with her husband, worshipped at a loc&l German Lutheran church. Caroline and Charles Kautz and their three sons and three daughters must have eagerly anticipated a joyous holiday cele- bration. But it was not their fate to enjoy this Christmas. In three and one-half weeks from late November to mid-December, smallpox took the lives of five of the six Kautz children. Six-year-old Clara died on November 20, followed by Albert (aged 2) two weeks later, then Edward (aged 4) on December 10, Charles (aged 8) on December 11, and Bertha (aged 10) on December 14. Only twelve-year-old Sophia survived. Burial in the Lutheran church cemetery followed each of the deaths in numbing succession. The tragedies that befell the Kautzes over a century ago illustrate in a concrete way part of the enormous gap separating the twentieth and the nineteenth centuries in America. Epidemic diseases, childhood death, and low adult life expectancies dominated life. Indeed, in the space of a decade, the Kautzes had witnessed smallpox epidemics in Philadelphia in 1871-72 and 1876 prior to the 1880-81 epidemic that devastated their family.
