    Abstract Thromboinflammation is a still not well-understood phenomenon, which has recently come to the foreground as a function of its relevance in the pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The patient described in the present case report exhibited acute fever, giant urticaria, elevated acute phase reactants, and very high d-dimer levels, thus characterizing thromboinflammation. She was diagnosed as a COVID-19 suspect case, which was not confirmed; urticarial vasculitis was ruled out. Homeopathic treatment was started with the earliest clinical manifestations, resulting in rapid and drastic reduction of inflammation and hypercoagulability within the first 12 hours, and full recovery on 10-day follow-up assessment. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of homeopathy in a severe acute disorder, and points to the need to include laboratory testing in homeopathic clinical assessment to achieve an accurate picture of disease, and to avoid the risk of passing over life-threatening disorders.

    Abstract Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate. En una curiosa instancia de metábasis, este célebre dicho –“la pluralidad no se debe postular sin necesidad”– parece encontrar contemporáneamente expresión ideal en el área de la salud: el sistema médico derivado de la ciencia moderna occidental se diseminó ampliamente, al punto de ser globalmente conocido como ‘medicina convencional’. Esta parece ser también la percepción de diversos investigadores –historiadores, especialistas en medicina social, entre varios otros– que han enfatizado la difusión global de la medicina occidental, citando, como notas al margen, la ‘llegada’ de otros sistemas médicos considerados ‘alternativos’ o ‘complementarios’, en el mejor de los casos. Sin embargo, la integración de diversas tradiciones culturales es un fenómeno que viene ganando espacio y visibilidad. Un ejemplo notable lo representan los esfuerzos para establecer diálogo entre diversas culturas médicas, ya no en relación de subordinación, sino como equivalentes en sus contribuciones al objetivo general de promoción, preservación y recuperación de la salud física, mental y social. El foco de este trabajo es la construcción de un marco conceptual y metodológico unificado como parte de la iniciativa de la Organización Mundial de la Salud para crear un sistema de clasificación que facilite la comprensión de tendencias globales y locales. Como estudio de caso, se analiza la reciente (mayo de 2019) inclusión de la llamada Medicina Tradicional en la 11ª edición de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades (CIE-11), que entrará en vigor el 1º de enero de 2022.

    Abstract Medicine underwent a major crisis in the 18th century and several approaches, including homeopathy, were formulated to fill the void left by the fall of traditional Galenic medicine. While most of the literature deals with the reasons doctors had to shift to homeopathy, the patients' views became the focus of increasing scholarly attention along the past 20 years. In this article I present and discuss the current knowledge about the socio-demographic characteristics and medical complaints of patients who sought homeopathic care in the early 19th century in both private and institutional settings. The results show that not only patients from the higher and more educated classes sought homeopathic care, but a considerable number of individuals from the middle and lower strata did so too, even though they also had access to conventional hospitals. As to the clinical complaints, the reasons to seek homeopathic care were the typical ones for any general practice or hospital in the period considered.

    • Patients developed much interest in contending medical approaches in the 19th century. • The outcomes of homeopathy were not better compared to conventional medicine. • One strong reason to seek homeopathic care was to avoid the ill effects of conventional medicine. • Homeopathy patients came from all society strata and educational levels. • There was no definite trend in the type of disease for which homeopathic care was sought.

    Abstract The comparative approach has been advocated to overcome some flaws inherent to case studies. Here, the spread of homeopathy in the early nineteenth century is addressed through a comparison of the cases of Sweden and Brazil, where homeopathy met diametrically opposed fates. The parameters used for the comparison are the standard for studies on the early spread of homeopathy, such as the concept of the "introducer," and reception by the medical and academic community, the government, and society at large. The results suggest that analysis of contexts, determinants, and the interactions of practitioners and institutions representing different health care approaches, whether dominant or alternative, seems to provide a more accurate picture of different moments in the global history of medicine.

    Abstract In this paper on the comparative history of homeopathy in Sweden and Brazil, we approach the early decades of the twentieth century, which might be characterised as a ‘golden age’ for homeopathy in both countries. However, contexts and determinants were dramatically different, resulting in radically different implications. In Brazil, homeopathy was granted official governmental recognition, being consequently restricted to academically trained physicians, while all forms of lay healing were legally banned. In Sweden, homeopathy never achieved any formal institutional status, but eventually came to be permitted to lay healers, who earned the right to practice through a Riksdagen bill. Besides the commonplace discussions on the scientific (or not) basis of homeopathy, many other factors—the grounds underlying national health systems, in particular—have equal, if not greater, weight on the attitude vis-á´à-vis non-mainstream medical approaches.
