At a recently organized Army Neurosyphilis Center,†300 patients, 75 per cent of whom had asymptomatic neurosyphilis and were in excellent physical condition, completed courses of 10 to 25 malarial paroxysms during an 11 month period from July 1944 to June 1945. Although racial immunity, previous attacks of natural malaria and the recent return of some patients from hyperendemic areas necessitated a number of reinoculations with heterologous malarial strains, 211 patients finally completed therapy with...Bibliography1.
