You could e-mail antiquesmorbus I'm sure they would help - and add your mystery illness to the site? Elly

i checked on www(.)antiquusmorbus(.)com it's not even listed. Google only bought up one result - and it wasn't in English!! Elly

A pure guess, but is it what we might now call hydracephalus? OC

I have an old book listing 'Diseases and Causes of Death' and listed in it is Membrorum distentio infantilis Unfortunately it doesn't explain what that is. Gwyn

I have a death cert from my grt grt grandfathers twin brother who died at 4 months. I'm trying to work out what his cause of death is but putting searches into google is coming up with strangest things (like references to grasshoppers). There are three words. The first is ***brorum, which i think is membrorum. The second is possibly distenlio and the third infantilis. Anybody speak latin? or suggest somewhere where i can get it translated if it is?
