Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the debate within 19th century medical discourse on the dual nature of the chancreâ"the primary sign of syphilisâ"as either a localized, non-infectious ulcer or a manifestation of constitutional infection. Studying the history of this debate through the lens of contagion, the author challenges the long-held view that the chancre was necessarily a reliable indicator of the severity of a syphilitic infection. Drawing on archival research and case studies, the book argues that the outcome of a syphilitic infection depended not only on the nature of the initial chancre, but also on the characteristics of the infected individual and the source of the infection. In doing so, the book sheds light on the complex relationship between infection and immunity in the human body, and the challenges faced by 19th century medicine in understanding the nature of infectious disease.
