According to Wien etal [25E7] some of the other earlier investigators included Naswitis, who had reported good results with frozen and rethawed blood only; Dold, who reported good results with unaltered autoblood in the case of eczema; and Fauvet who also reported favorable results in cases of furunculosis, anthrax, mastitis, eczema, skrophulus, and prurigo erythema.
As summarized by Wein etal [25E7], who incidentally does not credit Ravaut with priority, numerous authors figured into the development of hemotherapy in the early 20th century, with reports of applications in cases of infectious diseases, influenza, typhus recurrens, Flecktyphus, internal illness, scarlet fever, measles, and even sleeping sickness, gynecology, surgery, infantile atrophy, cancerous illnesses, and venereal diseases - gonorrhea and syphilis. According to Wien as of 1925, a veritable "blitz" of articles on the use of autohemotherapy in dermatology had been published during the preceding decade.
