Che J.effer.on,on
Pellaqra in the South: c q ,i p';es,S

The undoubted existence Of pei
lagra, the disease which has caused
such ravages in certain provinces of
Italy, in Georgia and neighboI1ng
States, is attracting the attention and
investigations of medical men, par
tlcularly on account Of the appear
ance Of what seems to be a new or
acute form Of it.
Pellagra, as it is known in Italy,
is not, strictly speaking, new dis
ease to this country. Seven years
ago, in 1902, Dir. III. F. Harris, secre-
tary Of the Georgia State board of
health, pointed out a case of it in a
clinic at the Atlanta College of Ply
sicians and Surgeons-the first case
to which attention was called in this
country.
This was the well-recngnizcd or
chronic form of the disease, and the
patient, after examination and treat
ment, disappeared from view
But extraordinary attention and in
terest has recently centered upon the
disease because of the fact that there
have been number of deaths in the
Atlanta hospitals and in the insane
asylums Of Georgia and other States
from a complaint which has been gen
orally diagnosed as pellagra (from the
Spanish, Simplifying rough skim, which
is generally recognized and believed
to come from eating unripe or improp-
erly cured Indian corn.
These cases, if they are pellagra, as
they have been generally pronounced,
apparently differ from the well-known
form of the disease in only one par
tlcular, and that is the rapidity with
which death ensues-in from one to
six weeks following the appearance
Of the symptoms.
The patient afflicted with the chron-
ic form of pellagra may live anywhere
from two or three to twenty-five years
before death comes as the result of
the infection. And yet this disease
and that more recently noted in Geor-
gia, which produces speedy death,
are, apparently, identical in symp-
toms.
Il am not wholly prepared to say
that these cases which appear to be
the acute form of the disease are gen
u1ne pellagra," said DR.. Harris, who,
in connection with the State board Of
health, is making an exhaustive study
Of the subject
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-04-29

They certainly Lave every appear
ance Of it, and may be acute pella9ra.
I have come across something like a
hundred eases Of it in the course Of
my experience in the last two or three
years, and am now engaged In expert
ments and Investigations with view
of determining the true nature OF 1T.
'The symptoms Of peliagra in the
chronic form are, first, rough red
dishness Of the skin from which it
derives its name, and which is some
what similar to sunburn. 1t appears
on the hands and on the cheeks; then
it may come on the feet and legs and
other tender parts of the body. Then
sores appear upon the inned sides of
the lips and on the tongue. The disease
is accompanied by diarrhoea and in
genuine pellagra there are certain we'll
known changes which occur in the
spinal cord. The only effective treat
ment Is arsenic in proper doses, and
the patient usually improves in the
fall of the year and is worse In the
spring.
In the acute form which we are
Investigating, the symptoms are prac
tically identical. 1t has not been
definitely determined, however,
whether the same changes occur in the
spinal cord and that is a.matter we
are now working on. I have secured
several cords from patients who died
from the disease at insane asylums
and am investigating these Then,
too the acute form does not yield to
the arsenic treatement. There is no
known effective treatment for it, and
death generally ensues within a few
weeks at most.
''On the other hand, | have seen
comparatively few eases Of chronic
pellagra. One patient who has been
under the arsenic treatment, appears
to have recovered, but whether re-
covery is complete or not, time must
develop. The chronic form, however,
appears to be less prevalent here than
the acute"
Pellagra is still one Of the medi-
cal mysteries. There are conditions
which occur in certain cereals when
they are harvested in an unripe condi-
ton, or are improperly cured, which
cause different diseases. For example,
ergotlsm comes from eating rye from
which all of the fungus or ergot has
