Book Description
Excerpt from The Indian Journal of Medical Research, 1919-20, Vol. 7 Since 1915 when dysentery convalescents first came streaming back from Gallipoli and other eastern war zones, a very large number of laboratory workers have recorded their protozoological findings in cases of intestinal disorders among the troops. One is therefore some what reluctant to burden the literature with further statistics of this kind. A great proportion, however, of the published work deals only with convalescent cases at home, in India, or other places remote from the war zones, and is moreover largely restricted to British cases. So far, I believe, there has been no published record of protozoological work of this nature carried out in Mesopotamia, and I know only of one paper in which any comparison is made between the findings in British and Indian cases: Woodcock (1917) (1) in Egypt found a marked disparity between British and Indian stools as regards the occurrence of protozoan infections, and the object of the present paper is to record the compara tive findings in different series of dysentery and diarrhoea cases among British and Indian troops in Mesopotamia, 1916 - 18.
