In typhus fever it is to be expected that under the extremely adverse conditions of hospitalization which are frequently found during epidemics of this disease, azotemia may be unrecognized in many patients. It is, therefore, understandable why comparatively little information on the subject of azotemia is found in the general literature on typhus.Woodward and Bland in a recent paper2called attention to the...Bibliography1.
