Eine eigenthumliche Form von progressiver perniciöser Anämie.

Koresp Bl. schweiz. Ärz., 2, 15-18, 1872.

In his account of progressive pernicious anemia, Biermer was first to describe the retinal haemorrhages. He was at one time accredited with the first description of pernicious anemia ; later it was shown that Addison had described the condition in his classic work on the suprarenals (No. 3118) and that Combe (No. 3112) had reported a case of pernicious anemia as far back as 1822. On the European Continent the condition is referred to as “Biermer’s disease”. Preliminary communication in Versammlung deutscherNaturforscher undAertze, 1868, Tageblatt No. 8, IX Sect., p. 173.
