It is therefore a dread disease. It has been noted by DuBois1that it is sometimes possible to alter the statistical incidence of rare diseases by training a hospital staff to become conscious of a disease syndrome and on the alert to diagnose the ailment early when, presumably, treatment may be effective. He cites the case of disseminated lupus erythematosus. Considered a rarity, the diagnosis was made 11 times in the Los Angeles County General Hospital in the years 1948 and 1949....Bibliography1.
