WAR ZONE CEDEMA. 



In soldiers, prisoners of -v^car, and refugees, having a very scanty and un- 

 suitable diet an cedematous condition of the legs and feet is far from rare. 

 It is a deficiency condition more closely related to scurvy than true beri-beri. 

 It should be differentiated by blood examinations from a clinically similar 

 condition due to malaria. 



TROPICAL CEDEMA. 



Some years ago we called attention in Ceylon to an cedematous condition 

 of the legs, seen especialyin new-comers and tourists in the hot season. The 

 whole leg from below the knee is affected, but if the person wears boots 

 tightly laced, the foot and ankle do not show any oedema. There is no 

 anaesthesia, the knee-jerks are normal, and the general condition is good. 

 The condition is not related in any way to beri-beri or scurvy, and is not 

 influenced by a change of diet. It disappears rapidly on going to the hills. 

 The same condition has been recently .recorded by Marshall from the Red Sea 

 and Bagdad.
