xiii, b, 2 Haughwout: Infections with Coccidium 91 



showed no intestinal symptoms. He describes the treatment 

 as having been unsatisfactory following the use of emetine and 

 a long series of "so-called intestinal disinfectants," all of which 

 yielded very poor results. In two cases methyl blue seemed to 

 act beneficially. 



The foregoing data yield us at least thirty-four well- 

 authenticated cases of human coccidiosis of recent occurrence, 

 which should act as a stimulus to future research into this 

 condition.
