The article, titled "Hodgkin's Disease" by John McGrath, provides a historical overview of the disease named after Thomas Hodgkin, who first described it a century ago. Despite including conditions now known to be distinct, Hodgkin's work laid the foundation for future research. The disease was later fully described by Wilks in 1856, who gave it its current name. Various terms have been used internationally, and Virchow successfully separated it from leukemia in 1864. The exact nature and causation of Hodgkin's disease remain a subject of conjecture, though it occurs more frequently in males between the ages of 15 and 35. The disease typically presents with painless enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes, though primary swellings can occur elsewhere. The article also mentions that the disease has not been successfully transferred from humans to animals, even monkeys.The article, titled "Hodgkin's Disease" by John McGrath, provides a historical overview of the disease named after Thomas Hodgkin, who first described it a century ago.
