Examples

  • The condition of the kidneys in cases of strictures of long standing is known not to be a reliable one, and any incentive to dysuria or to retention, no matter how slight, is apt to lead, eventually -- and that even in very young subjects -- to that toxic condition mentioned in a former part of this chapter as one of von Jaksch's subdivisions of toxæmia, the ammoniæmia of Frerichs; this condition being the fatal ending of the case of the two-year-old child mentioned by Henoch, who died after the relief of a retention due to phimosis and calculi resulting from the phimotic occlusion.
