September, 1954 The Health Bulletin 15 The unearthing of parental sanction for antisocial behavior in children is one of the most formidable challenges that confront psychiatrists, the doctors stated, adding: "Treatment of the parent is fraught with difficulty. If the parent has provided conscious sanction of the child's delinquency, treatment is usually impossible. If the parental role was unconscious, the uncovering of the parents' problem is a miserable or hazardous ordeal, and at times the therapy requires hospitalization." When parents become aware of the cause for their child's delinquency, they may develop neuroses, the doctors stated. Troublesome as these neuroses may be, they are preferable to antisocial behavior, with its threat of perpetuation through generations. "It is advocated that there be a disseminated knowledge of these origins of delinquency, aimed at the erection of parental conscience barriers against the fostering of vicarious misbehavior, since such behavior may be transmitted from generation to generation through interpersonal living," the doctors stressed. "Individual neuroses that may result, regardless of their severity, are more amenable to treatment than is the delinquency complex." Dr. Johnson is associated with the section of psychiatry, Mayo Clinic, and Dr. Szurek with the University of California School of Medicine and the Langley Porter Clinic. DESCRIBE CAT SCRATCH DISEASE IN 160 PATIENTS One hundred sixty cases of cat scratch disease, a relatively new clinical entity which may resemble other serious diseases, were reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The majority of the patients afflicted with the condition had had some contact with cats and were in the younger age groups, according to Drs. Worth B. Daniels and Frank G. MacMurray, Washington. Many of the patients had skin lesions that persisted from two weeks to two years, the doctors stated. Some of the lesions became as large as golf balls, and 80 per cent of the patients had such general symptoms of infection as chills, headache, generalized aching, weakness, nausea, abdominal pains and fever. The doctors pointed out that in many of the cases cat scratch disease mimicked such diseases as infectious mononucleosis, tuberculosis, tularemia, malignant tumors, and infected cysts. A definite diagnosis of cat scratch disease was made in each case by means of a specific skin test, they added. The exact causative factor of the disease is not known, the doctors stated. Although the symptoms will disappear spontaneously, use of some of the antibiotics may be beneficial in treating the disease. POLIO SUSCEPTIBILITY MAY BE INCREASED BY ABSENCE OF TONSILS Removal of tonsils and adenoids may increase susceptibility to bulbar and bulbospinal forms of poliomyelitis, it was stated editorially in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Further study of this problem was urged by the editorial, which stated that data have suggested: (1) that the mere absence of tonsils and adenoids, regardless of the time of their removal, leads to increased susceptibility to bulbar and bulbospinal forms of polio, and (2) that if poliomyelitis strikes within a matter of days after an operation to remove the tonsils and adenoids, there is a greater risk that the patient will have the bulbar type and a severer illness. "The relation between tonsillectomy and poliomyelitis and between the presence or absence of tonsils and poliomyelitis has been the subject of discussion for some years," the editorial stated. "Data presented appear to suggest that the time when tonsillectomy is performed when related to the onset of poliomyelitis may be of less significance than the mere fact that tonsils are absent.
