Abstract

WO years ago we inaugurated in the National Institute of Health a basic study designed to determine the extent of the problem in the United States and to provide information which might aid in outlining a working program for the control of this disease.

Each diaphragm included in this study has been examined by two different methods, the direct microscopic method and the digestion-Baermann method, both of which have been described in detail by Hall and Collins1 and by Nolan and Bozicevich.2 At this writing there has been examined a total of 3,000 diaphragms divided into several different series according to the origin of the material.
