Eleonore Lawrence, Air Raid
Defense Center worker in Sweets

industry and rumors of ssboteurs

Her mind jumped ahead Of him:

1T is only in recent times that
many Of the facts concerning in
fiammation Of the liver or hepati-
tbs have been collected. Now 1t Is
known that certain infections, as
we'll as various drugs, may cause
liver damage.
In a group Of So patients studied
by DIR. Nathan W. Chaikin and DR..
Simeon o. Chlenoff Of New York
City, the most common causes Of
the liver Inflammation were infec-
tons, drugs, such as arsenic, and
various general diseases, such as
pneumonia. More than one-hah Of
the patients developed the eondi-
ton because Of infection and the
majority of them were over twenty
years Of age.
Apparently . Virus
While the exact cause OF liver
Inflammation is not known, II
would appear that 1t is due to a
virus, that is, an organism so small
that il can pass through the open
ings in a porcelain filter. The pa
tients who developed the condition
as a result Of drugs had received
such preparations as sulfathiazole
and sulfadiaZine. 1t is thought that
these drugs may have direct dam
aging action in the liver cells. Be-
cause of this fact 1t may be
inadvisable TO use sulfonamide
drugs for infections which develop
during the course Of chronic liver
disease.
In a number Of the cases the
acute Inflammation Of the liver or
hepatitis followed the use Of ar
senic-containing drugs. Other con-
ditions which produced hepatitis
were pneumonia and syphilis.
Symptoms Same
It appears that no matter what
may cause hepatitis, the symptoms
are about the same. There may be
pains in the abdomen, loss Of appe-
tite, vomiting and diarrhea. In a
few instances the condition may
begin with symptoms like those Of
a cold. Fever is present in some
instances. About three to five days
following the onset Of the -condi-
ton, jaundice or a greenish-yellow
discoloration of the skin as well
as the mucous membranes, especi-
ally the white portion Of the eyes,
may occur.
This may last from seven TO
twenty-six days. The disorder IL
diagnosed on the basis Of the
symptoms and various laboratory
tests are made to determine how
the liver is functioning. In chill
dren it would appear that this con-
dition as a rule, runs rather
mild course. In adults it may be
more serious.
There is no specific treatment
for the infection which produces
hepatitis, insofar as is known at
present. Complete rest in bed, the
use Of the proper diet and the Civ
ing of plenty Of fluids are all help
full measures. The diet should con-
tain an abundance Of sugars, and
proteins such as meat and milk.
A great deal further study is
needed to determine the exact way
in which the infectious form of
liver inflammation spreads and Ia
develop preventive measures.
