Abstract

WE OCCASIONALLY see curious types of neurologic responses in poliomyelitis, but the case herein presented was unusual in that it involved the basal nuclei. REPORT OF A CASE H.

In India, he experienced episodes of chills and fever. These occurred about five times a year and were controlled with quinine, and he was ill only a short time with each seizure. It was assumed that he had malaria, but at no time was blood taken for a smear or a definite diagnosis made. The present illness began July 6, 1946 when he felt bad, as though he were catching cold.
