Deciphering Army Medical Records

[fridayschild]

Could someone please help to decipher the handwriting on a soldiers medical record? It refers to a soldier who was being treated for syphilis.

Not easy handwriting, is it!

Here's my best try:

Hair loss corona. Ing and ?? adenitis. Skin
nil. M plaques tonsils. S palida found. Wass++ 7.10.18
(I can't read the next line, I suspect it refers to treatment) 1.10.18-16.10.18
Lesions healed Transferred Plymouth for further
treatment.

I can't read the final part either, in fainter ink; I wonder if this refers to further treatment?

"Translating" this, he was showing signs of secondary syphilis with hair loss, swollen glands in the inguinal (groin) region + somewhere else and patches in his mouth (tonsils), but no skin rash. The syphilis bacterium, (treponema pallidum) was found and the Wassermann reaction (a blood test for syphilis) was positive.

Thankyou Annie.  The Soldier in question James Henry Hough was admitted to Whittingham Mental Institution in April 1925 and died there 6 months later and having read that he was suffering from Syphilis I wondered if that was the reason for his admission. Of course unless I get a copy of his death certificate I won't know for sure.
