At that time Weingarten had observed 81 cases during a period of nine years. Three years before, in 1940, Frimodt-Moller and Barton,41working in a sanatorium in South India, had reported a similar syndrome which they called "a pseudotuberculous condition associated with eosinophilia." They had observed 175 cases in 15 years. Many other sporadic cases had been reported before, at least since 1923, when de Langen and Djamil59in...Bibliography1.
