The Philippine Journal of Science 
responded at all to the drug. Chatterjee points out that there 
is danger of confusing these cases of flagellate dysentery with 
sprue, tuberculous diarrhoea, chronic amoebic dysentery, and the 
like. This point, we think, is well taken, and might with profit 
be borne in mind by practitioners unfamiliar with the perplexing 
manifestations in infections with the intestinal protozoa. 
In conclusion we desire to thank Dr. Jose Albert, chief of the 
department of pediatrics for giving us access to the case, and 
Dr. Alberto Tupas, of the same department, who kindly fur- 
nished us the clinical data and cooperated with us in other ways.
