ABSTRACT
An analysis of infections and infestations in Dominica indicates that these were major health problems. The common diseases were gastro-enteritis, typhoid fever, amoebiasis, and helminthiasis. Hospital bacteriological investigations showed a pattern similar to that seen elsewhere in the Commonwealth Caribbean. A striking feature was the obvious need for proper assessment of antibiotic sensitivity patterns. For example, staphylococci were sensitive to penicillin in 40 percent of cases, a situation which is far different from that which is at present observed in North America. This survey was carried out in collaboration with physicians practising in Dominica, and their years of experience of the local situation allowed the authors of this paper to introduce perspectives and priorities which are not usually possible in publications based entirely on figures reported by statistical departments. Recent improvements in clinical and laboratory services in Dominica have made accurate diagnosis possible in most cases except those in which virological studies were necessary (AU)
