OBSTETRIC GYNECOLOGICAL SOCIETY IN KIEV. Meeting on January 29, 1892

Abstract

E.G. Gurin presented a new explanation of the origin of eclampsia. Of all the existing theories of the origin of eclampsia - Frerichs, Rosenstein-Traube, Halberstma, Stumpf, Blanc - none of them stand up to strict criticism and cannot serve to explain all the varieties of eclamps. Studying the clinical picture of eclampsia, we find in it a great similarity with the picture of violent and severe poisoning and therefore we can put forward a hypothesis about eclampsia, as a disease resulting from a kind of self-clogging of the female body with chemical poisons.
