The Relation of Focal Infection to Mental Disease
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
The recent contributions of Hunter (1) and Moynihan (2) are significant of the importance of focal infection or “sepsis” in mental disease. Cotton's (3) view that toxæmia resulting from focal infection is the specific cause of the “functional” psychoses is well known on both sides of the Atlantic. Further, his therapeutic claims for surgical detoxication are only too familiar.
