In this same year Kofoid, Boyers and Swezy3described the presence of the amebae in the lymph nodes in cases of Hodgkin's disease. A new conception of the clinical picture of chronic amebiasis was developed as a result of these findings, and is described in the papers of Boyers, Kofoid and Swezy4in 1925, and of Craig5in 1927. The former authors, especially, stressed the multiplicity of symptoms due to chronic amebiasis and felt that the patients suffer...References1 ELYREEDWYCKOFF LWACHA: The ameba as the cause of the second great type of chronic arthritis, Calif.
