KALIUM IODATUM mit generierter deutscher Übersetzung Lilienthal ll1 Hepatization develops symptoms of cerebral congestion [if Bell. is insufficent for the congestion of the brain j2] with effusion, dilated pupils, face red, hot; dropped jaw, coma, palsy of limbs; great dyspnea with dullness on percussion and pain in left lung, particularly in tuberculous constitutions; sputa frothy like soapsuds, showing edema of lungs or copious, purulent, green sputa; stitches through from sternum to back, agg. from any motion [DD Iod. fr3]; pleuritic stitches, effusion. Hering hr1 Hepatization of right lung. Infiltration of left upper lung extend to right lung with sunken face, continous delirium. Farrington fr2 Bronchial catarrh: Profuse, thick and heavy, greenish sputa, tasting salty (Sep.), which seems to come from deep in the chest with a pain through to between the shoulders. Exhausting night-sweats and general weakness. Pleurisy: Great difficulty in breathing with hydro-thorax; pleuritic effusion. Cannot lie in comfort at all on right side; heart displaced; absence of respiratory sounds in affected parts. Pneumonia: When hepatization has commenced and there is an absence of symptoms for either of Bry., Phos. or Sulph. Also when the hepatization is so extensive that there is cerebral congestion similar to Bell., as red face, more or less dilated pupils which do not react to light, drowsiness and heavy breathing. Also in the stage of resolution, when instead of absorption and expectoration of the exudate, slow suppuration appears with hectic fever, emaciation and copious, purulent, green sputa which tastes salty; also frothy sputa, like soap-suds, showing edema pulmonum. Raue rec1 After shaking chill, fell in a deep sleep out of which he could not be aroused; snoring loudly with closed eyes injected conjunctiva, hot head, dry tongue, bluish lips, sunken lower jaw, bluish fingernails; irregular and intermitting pulse; lies upon his back; the extremities, when raised, fall back as if paralyzed, has not voided urine [suppressed urination hr1] nor asked for a drink.

These cases often run into phthisis pulmonalis. They generally begin as a hard cold, and end in pneumonia, or bronchitis, and "hang fire" in convalescence. Two other remedies should be also remembered here viz... Sang. and Stann. In all three the expectoration is profuse and thick, but in Stann. the matter tastes sweet, while in Sang. the sputa are very fetid, offensive to the patient himself (also Sep. and Psor.). Kali-i. is salty tasting (Sep.). Carb-v. has green expectoration sometimes, as does also Lyc., but with the latter it is often grayish and salty, and with Puls. the taste is often bitter like the mouth and taste generally. nh1 On Potency - At begin of my practice I gave the pure substance in water. A few years ago I tried the 200th potency with the same quick curative effect. Since that I frequently use the remedies in such high potencies. Kafka kka1 Marked signs of pleuro-pneumonia when Ant-t. shows no effect. In secundary croupous [Ed. lobular] pneumonia which evolved out of bronchitis and where Phos. was ineffective. Croupous pneumonia with seat in clavicular or supra-clavicular region and with the danger of tuberculous deposits due to hereditary or constitutional disposition, here is the administration of Kali-i. early enough very important. We emphasize clearly and intentionally the circumstance, that the favourable effect of the Iodine-remedies [Ed. Iod., Kali-i.] at the start of the consolidation in croupous [lobular Ed.] pneumonia occurs without any relation to the critical days, and that these remedies, when they are able to stop the consolidation, will do that in the shortest time, very quickly after administration. Pneumonia of infants - Dyspnea without foregoing cough or pain or after convulsive fits, when nursing is refused due to shortness of breath, temperature markedly elevated and when there is an icteric discoloration of the skin right from the beginning - Kali-i.
