Mummies that I have known. A pediatrician's venture in the field of paleopathology
P. K. Lewin
We describe the activities of a pediatrician in the field of medical
archeology. Having pioneered the use of electron microscopy in the
examination of Egyptian mummified tissue, we also describe some of the
exciting pathological findings from various autopsies of ancient Egyptian
mummies. These findings give us a glimpse of disease and death in ancient
Egypt and of the evolution of these diseases as they affect man today.
