Biomedical Ephemera, or: A Frog for Your Boils

@biomedicalephemera / biomedicalephemera.tumblr.com

A blog for all biological and medical ephemera, from the age of Abraham through the era of medical quackery and cure-all nostrums. Featuring illustrations, history, and totally useless trivia from the diverse realms of nature and medicine. Buy me a coffee so I can stay up and keep the lights on around here!

Tubercules d'Elephantiasis et Framboesia [framboesia = yaws]

1. Elephantiasis - Cutaneous and sub-cutaneous tubercules and a small number of ulcerations.

2. Elephantiasis - Less common manifestation of elephantiasis - larger tubercules due to branching vascularization near surface of dermis

3. Hypertrophic ear with something that translates to "glaze of tuberculous nipples". Make of it what you will.

4. Ulceration of epiglottis, person afflicted with elephantiasis.

5. Band of ulceration on upper palate.

6. Framboesia [Yaws] - Red pimples and fungoid ulcers [characteristic of primary stage of yaws]

7. Framboesia [Yaws] - White fungoid ulceration [characteristic of sores appearing during tertiary stage of yaws, when the spirochete invades the bones and nodules around joints]
