Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Southern Surgical and Gynecological Association, Vol. 15: Fifteenth Session, Held at Cincinnati, Ohio, November 11, 12 and 13, 1902 Sex.

This is mostly owing to a much larger number of men having typhoid, but it would seem that the proportion in disease of the ribs is unduly great. In woman, the greater blood supply to the chest wall on account of the mammae may explain this comparative immunity, as the resistance to infection would be thereby increased. Age. A peculiarity above alluded to is that post typhoid diseases of the costal cartilages and of the ribs', according to the table, uniformly occur in adults. Of forty - eight cases the age is mentioned in thirty-eight. The youngest is a boy of nineteen years (case N o. The oldest sixty-nine years (case N o. Under twenty there is one case; between twenty and thirty there are eight; between thirty and forty, twelve; between forty and fifty, ten; between fifty and sixty, three; between sixty and seventy, three. Locality. In seven cases the ribs affected are not definitely mentioned. In the remaining forty-one they are as follows: In the right side the first rib was affected once; the third, three times; the fourth, once; the fifth, nine times; the sixth, eleven times; the seventh, four times; the eighth and ninth, each three times; and the twelfth, once.
