American Journal Of Diseases Of Children 1916 Vol 12 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1916, Vol. 12 With this extension Of the conception of tetany as an active and as a latent disease Of infancy and childhood, the diagnosis Of it has, especially with Older children, come to rest on a less secure foundation. There have been no electrical standards established for normal children beyond the period of infancy, it having apparently been assumed that the values established for infants are applicable to Older children as well. A study of the reactions in Older children shows almost at once that this assumption is unjustifiable. Even with infants, also, the determination of what is normal and what is abnormal Offers at times great difficulties. Therefore, I have studied the reactions of infants and Older children with and without tetany in order to determine the reliability Of the electrical diagnosis of this disease and, especially with older children, to establish the stand ards for the normal and the deviations from this which enable us to recognize the presence of tetany.
