Manzone (the second vaccinifer of the series). She was aged six months. On the tenth day, again, she was used for the vaccination of seventeen other children, of whom seven became affected with syphilis, suffering in the same manner as the thirty-nine infected from Chiabrera. Two months afterwards she was taken to Acqui, and seen by Dr. Silventi, who recognised upon her a syphilitic eruption, with mucous tubercles about the anus and vulva, mucous patches on the commissures Of the lips, and indolent glandular enlargements, the primary affection at the seat of the vesicles not even being healed. The child died in September. The nurse who suckled her got ulcers on the breast, and from the various other children who were syphilised the disease spread by con tagion to eighteen mothers or nurses and to three other children.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a controversial topic that sparked intense debate in the 19th century: the possibility of transmitting syphilis through vaccination. The author, a physician of his time, meticulously examines four documented cases of what was then termed ââ Å"vaccino-syphilitic inoculation.ââ  He meticulously reconstructs each case, analyzing the vaccination practices, the individuals involved, and the spread of the disease. The book is a fascinating exploration of the scientific and social anxieties surrounding vaccination in a period when the understanding of infectious diseases was rapidly evolving. The author grapples with the complex question of whether these cases truly represent the transmission of syphilis through vaccination or whether other explanations, such as accidental contamination, are more likely. He weighs the evidence, scrutinizing the medical procedures employed, the health history of the individuals, and the patterns of disease transmission. His analysis is marked by both intellectual rigor and a keen awareness of the societal implications of his findings. The book offers a unique glimpse into the anxieties and uncertainties surrounding vaccination in the 19th century. It highlights the importance of careful scientific investigation in addressing public health concerns and the need for caution in attributing causality in complex medical situations.
