Book Description

Excerpt from Bulletin of the School of Medicine, University of Maryland, 1937-1938, Vol. 22 The purpose of this paper is to present a case which is believed to fall in the category suggested by the title along with a brief review and discussion of the literature on the subject of the pulmonary complica tions of amebiasis. It is only of recent date that the importance of this subject has been fully realized. To Craig must go most of the credit for making us ameba conscious, as it was through his work that we came to realize that amebic infections are not limited to the tropics and subtropics, but that ambae are ubiquitous. Craig (i) states that 10 per cent of the people of this country are infected by Endameba histolytica, and the reason we overlook this fact is because of the lack of clinical manifestations.
