Temporary Albuminuria. By Dr. Begbie.—Dr. J. W. Begbie al-
ludes to the phenomenon of albuminuria in the following diseases :
1.	Scarlatina Simplex.—He confirms his former statement that about
the period of desquamation, albumen can almost always be found; its
presence is associated with renal epithelium, but not with casts of tubes.
2.	Cholera.
3.	Erysipelas.—Usually at resolution or during convalescence. Its
presence is not constant, nor its quantity great.
The albuminuria in these three cases is called desquamative.
4.	Scarlatinal Dropsy.—The albuminuria may, or may not, be tem-
porary—blood exudation-corpuscles, and casts of tubes, accompany it.
The albuminuria in this case is termed inflammatory.
5.	Pneumonia, at the period of resolution, in almost all cases.
6.	Typhus and Typhus Abdominalis (typhoid.)—From a considera-
tion of the period when the albumen is observed in these last-named
diseases, Dr. Begbie terms it critical albuminuria.—London Monthly
Journal, Oct. 1852.
