Neel returned to NY where her 1y old daughter died of diphtheria. This informed her treatment of motherhood, loss & anxiety. The birth of her 2nd child inspired the bleak ‘Well Baby Clinic’ (1928). Carlos (1926), After the Death of a Child (1927-8) & Nadja (1928)

German surgeon & pathologist Max Wilms (1867-1918) published “Mixed Tumours of the Kidney” in 1899, described nephroblastoma and its origin, now known as Wilms tumour. He contracted diphtheria during emergency tracheotomy on a French POW during WW I. His patient survived.
One of the most feared #diseases of #childhood, #Diphtheria caused a false membrane to grow over the larynx--suffocating victims.
In 1875, the 243-person death toll from diphtheria comprised 8.2% of all reported deaths. As was typical of the disease, children comprised most of the mortalities. The #vaccine arrived in 1890s #evidencebased #stillmatters
