THE APPARENT ABSENCE OF SIGNIFICANT PRIMARY VASOSPASM IN ACUTE SPINAL POLIOMYELITIS

[摘要] Measurement of skin temperatures under controlled conditions can be used as an index of the state of the cutaneous circulation.During the first 40 days after the onset of poliomyelitis, there is no measurable alteration, based upon mean temperature values, in the cutaneous or deep circulation which can be attributed to the effects of the disease alone.What little change in circulation was found in the group of patients with poliomyelitis seemed to be similar to that produced by bed rest alone in a group of non-poliomyelitic patients.
