NOTES ON HITMAN SPIBOCH^TOSIS 



65 



The long spiral form was by far the comrnonest, but figures of 8 and coils were 

 frequently seen, though my impression from the dry films was that these latter were far 

 more frequent in the thicker parts of the films, i.e. when the spirochiEtes had more 

 opportunity for movement prior to drying on the slide. 



The very excellent arrangement in the Egyptian Military Hospitals of sterilising at 

 once all the clothes of admission cases and then having them washed before being placed 

 in the pack store unfortunately prevented one following up the cases with a view to finding 

 Pedicidi vestimentoruin. 



These notes deal with the clinical sides of the cases which supplied Dr. Balfour with 

 the spirochaetes for his experimental work. 



I wish to thank Dr. Balfour for taking such interest in the cases, and also Mulazim 

 Awal Basili Effendi Suda, Medical Corps, for his help in the clinical and microscopic 

 work.
