Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the result of a thorough medical investigation spearheaded by the author into leprosy in the early 1900s. Targeted specifically towards Hawaiian natives who were disproportionately affected by the disease, it is an examination of the frequency of leprosy's most common early symptom, a lesion on the nasal septum. The study challenges the theory that this lesion is present in a majority of the disease's early stages, with the author conducting examinations of hundreds of people at high risk to contract leprosy, including those living in close quarters with confirmed lepers. Their research shows that the nasal septum lesion is not common enough to be used as a reliable early indicator of leprosy, concluding that using such lesions to identify the disease is impractical for public health purposes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
