DuncanBro Posted 28 May , 2021 Share Posted 28 May , 2021 Got the death certificate for a soldier I've been researching, he died in 1956. Cause of death reads "post enchephalitic paralysis agitans for 20 years, renal arterio sclerosis for 10 years and acute nephiritis for two weeks". Any medical experts out there that can basically tell me what he was suffering from. I tied Google, but there wasn't really anything relevant. Poor guy must have suffered for a long time! Thank you, Duncan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 28 May , 2021 Share Posted 28 May , 2021 The first one may be a form of Parkinson's disease, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellop Posted 28 May , 2021 Share Posted 28 May , 2021 Encephalitic Paralysis is Parkinson's Disease. Post Encephalitic is where the original illness is epidemic. Renal Arteriosclerosis in simple terms is scarring of the kidney usually caused by reno-vascular disease[s] or even Chronic Hypertension [High Blood Pressure]. Acute Nephritis is when the kidneys become inflamed. May lead to kidney failure if untreated, also known as Bright's Disease.
