The series of cases appeared to have a more benign course than that reported by others, and the relationship of the types of cases to outcome was considered in evaluating the results of therapy. The early favorable therapeutic effects of the aromatic diamidines, stilbamidine and 2-hydroxystilbamidine, described by others, were confirmed, and observation of treated cases was extended into the second and third years after treatment.SOURCES OF CASESEighteen of...Bibliography1.
