Notes on Cases of Fever frequently confounded with Typhoid and Malaria in the Tropics

Abstract

Every practitioner in Tropical Countries knows how frequently cases of fever occur in which it is impossible to arrive at a definite diagnosis.Much light has been thrown on the subject of long-continued fevers by the researches of Leishman, Donovan, Manson, Rogers, etc., especially with regard to Kala-azar. Moreover, the work of Wright, Lamb, and others, has shown that some other forms of long-continued tropical fevers represent cases of Malta fever.
