SOURCES: 1894-1982
--- Autohemotherapy/autogenous serum therapy
The category "serum therapy" first appears in an
1889-90 medical index. Within "serum therapy", "autoserotherapy"
appears in 1905 and "autohemotherapy" in 1912. The AUTOMEDICAL
INDEX incorporates all such "auto-" items from 1905, plus the prior
works of Gilbert [1894H1], Elfstrom [1898H1] and Jez [01H1]. At
least 30 of these articles on autohemotherapy were published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
--- Autogenous vaccine therapy
Within the category "vaccine therapy", "autogenous"
first appears in 1909. The AUTOMEDICAL INDEX includes prior works
of Wright [03N1,07N3] and Ohlmacher [07N1-2].
The year 1982 is the last in which either of the two
categories, "Serum Therapy" or "Vaccine Therapy", appears in the
"CUMULATED INDEX MEDICUS"; therein "Serum Therapy" refers to
"Passive Immunization", whereas "Vaccine Therapy" simply is gone
by 1983.
--- Dr. Rosenow's works through 1936 (for the most part) are listed
in Physicians of the Mayo Clinic and the Mayo Foundation, U. Minn.
Press, Minneapolis, 1937]; subsequent items were found in the
QUARTERLY CUMULATIVE MEDICAL INDEX and CURRENT LIST. A total of
42 of Dr. Rosenow's articles were published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
