The most recent review of the subject lists 18 such cases and adds a nineteenth.2In 1943 Stats and Wassermann published an excellent comprehensive analysis of the experimental and clinical significance of cold hemagglutination,3and several other investigators have discussed this strange phenomenon in its specific connection with vascular disease.1,...Bibliography1.
