APPENDIX. 

 PART V. 



CHARTS GIVING THE HISTORY OF CASES TREATED FOR 

 E. HISTOLYTICA OR FLAGELLATE INFECTIONS. 



THE cases treated have already been referred to in Part III of this report, where 

 the main results have been indicated. The following charts have been selected tc 

 illustrate in detail the course of the various infections. In each instance a shorl 

 history of the case is given, and this is followed by a tabular arrangement showing 

 the days on which the stool was examined, the course of treatment, the various 

 infections present, and the character of the stool. By this method it is possible to see 

 at a glance if the treatment is having any action on the protozoa. The extent o^ 

 each infection is indicated by the signs +, ++, or + + +. The tables bring out 

 clearly the intermittent character of the various protozoal infections. 



During the observations on the cases which were treated the stools were examined, 

 if possible, every day while the patient was in hospital, and afterwards, if he went to 

 convalescent camp (indicated by a C in the first column of the chart), on alternate days. 

 In the second column the treatment is inserted opposite the days on which it was 

 given. In some cases two, or even three, courses of treatment were given when relapse 

 occurred. 



Emetin administered by the mouth (E.rn.) was frequently followed by vomiting 

 The occasions on which this happened are shown by a V, followed by the interva 

 which had elapsed after taking the drug. 



The column marked E.f. shows free amoebae, which are left undiagnosed, for whei 

 E. histolytica cysts and E. coli cysts were both present it was evident the associatec 

 free amoebae might belong to either of these. 



The cases are arranged in five Sections : 



Section I gives the charts of some of the cases which were treated with one 

 grain injections, and which have been tabulated in Table X. Some of these cases 

 had more than one treatment, so that, as already explained, they appear in othe 

 Tables also. 



Cases Harris, Jackson, A. Main, Ball and Barrie, when treated by injections (E.) 

 had already been treated with emetin by the mouth (E.m.) and had relapsed. The 

 appear in Tables X and XI. 



Cases Webber, Pero, McQuade, Squires, Obbard, Dorter, Smith and Rusnfortt 

 relapsed after emetin injections, and were given later the combined treatment of one 

 grain emetin injection with ^ grain by the mouth (E. 1 E.m. ^). They appear ir 

 Tables X and XII. 



Case Bennett relapsed after the emetin injections and was then cured by emetir 

 by the mouth. His case appears in Tables X and XI. 



Cases Spiers, Healy, Kettlewell and Gaskin all relapsed after emetin injections anc 

 were later treated by emetin by the mouth. They appear in Tables X and XI. 



Section II gives charts of some of the cases which were treated by orall 

 administered emetin (Table XI). Other cases treated by this method, and which hac 

 had also treatment by emetin injections, are included in Section I.
