Another Cause of Death One
« on: Tuesday 11 July 23 14:48 BST (UK) »
Believe it or not, I'm getting better at this. His siblings died of diarrhoea and convulsions, but what did William die of?  Something mesenterium by the look of it, but I can't read that first word.

Grateful as always for any help offered.

Thanks

tabes mesenterica = TB of the lymphatic system.
Dorland’s Medical Dictionary says “TB of the mesenteric glands in children”.

Tabes Mesenterica

Caused by, I think, drinking contaminated milk from a cow with TB

Perhaps worth mentioning that, coming from milk, this would be from cows suffering from bovine TB caused by Mycobacterium bovis, not “standard” TB caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Of course, at only 4 months old, the baby was far too young to have been given cow’s milk.

Thanks all. I would never have figured that one out.

His father died while his mother was pregnant. I wonder if she was just not able to feed him. He was only tiny though. It must have happened very quickly though.
