MALARIA TRANSMITTED BY HYPODERMIC SYRINGE

MALARIA TRANSMITTED BY HYPODERMIC SYRINGE The incidence of malaria in Nebraska is exceedingly rare, and the following explanation of how one new case originated seems quite interesting for that reason: B.

The only complaint at the time of this visit was a feeling of extreme exhaustion; the patient had a temperature of 102.5 F. At this time there was quite a widespread epidemic of influenza, and after a thorough physical examination had been made the students interpreted the chill to be evidence of the onset of this condition and prescribed accordingly. The patient slept reasonably well that night and remained in bed the following two days as he had been directed.

Abstract

The incidence of malaria in Nebraska is exceedingly rare, and the following explanation of how one new case originated seems quite interesting for that reason: B.

The only complaint at the time of this visit was a feeling of extreme exhaustion; the patient had a temperature of 102.5 F. At this time there was quite a widespread epidemic of influenza, and after a thorough physical examination had been made the students interpreted the chill to be evidence of the onset of this condition and prescribed accordingly.
