An Unusual Effect of Malaria upon the Heart
نویسنده
چکیده
Jaramvala, Lyallpur, Punjab. S. M., a Hindu male aged 35, consulted me on the 19th December, 1924, complaining of fever coming on daily at 4 p.m. with rigor and passing off at 11 p.m., and of one week's duration. On examination I found the radial pulse on both sides practically imperceptible, with only an occasional beat perceptible. The spleen and liver were both enlarged. On auscultation, the heart was beating exactly as does the foetal heart, with no regular pauses between the sounds, which were weak and scarcely distinguishable from one another.
