On the clinical picture of ergotism pseudotabes ergotinica

Abstract

Epidemics of raphania in Europe, and in Russia in particular, have been observed for a long time. The last epidemic of wicked bark in Western Europe was observed in 1879-80. (Tuezek), while in Russia these epidemics broke out from time to time even in the 20th century (1909-10) (Kolosov). The incessant rains and other climatic conditions of the summer of 1926 contributed to the increased growth of ergot. As a result, due to the uncultivation of the population and the lack of timely preventive measures, we had in 1926-27 an epidemic of ergotism, which invaded the Votsk and Ural regions and part of TR. It is very likely that the epidemic was not limited to these areas.
