About the reaction of precipitation of red blood cells in internal diseases

Abstract

In early 1918, Fahraens published an article about the allegedly discovered reaction of precipitation of red blood corpuscles. However, it turned out that this phenomenon was known before: for example, “crusta phlogistica” Galen’a is nothing more than a film formed during the accelerated sedimentation of erythrocytes, and systematic observations of this phenomenon were made by Hüntheg at the end of the 18th century. Soon interest in this reaction died out, but at the beginning of the 19th century it again aroused the interest of researchers (Müller, Dawу, Hermann, Nasse). At present, both theorists and clinicians with the same interest are engaged in the study of this phenomenon and its causes.
