Diseases contracted in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and observed in Western Australia (WA) have comprised malaria, amoebiasis, ancylostomiasis, filariasis and leprosy. This small series of cases demonstrates the prolongation of incubation periods of malaria following chemoprophylaxis, the spread of chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum (both to Western and Eastern regions of PNG), the ineffectiveness of chloroquine against Entamoeba histolytica in the intestine and the value of oral penicillin as a prophylactic for filarial lymphangitis.

Hepatitis B antigen carriage was studied in Somalia in 155 patients with ancylostomiasis, with urinary schistosomiasis and with leprosy (lepromatosus and tuberculoid type and leprosy with schistosomiasis). The results have showed a significantly (p less than 0,001) higher frequency of HBsAg among the patients with ancylostomiasis (33,33%) and with urinary schistosomiasis (25,92%) than either the leprosy patients (9,67% in the L type and 6,89% in the T type) or the controls (11,11%); in the leprosy patients with schistosomiasis the frequency was 40,0%. The role of some penetrating skin parasites in the epidemiology of hepatitis B was discussed.

Sob o título acima, inseriu este jornal um artigo da lavra de seu apreciado colaborador R.A., e no qual o ilustre articulista, numa como síntese, se reporta à divulgação que o conceituado medico patrício, dr. Belisario Penna, fez, pelo "O Jornal", de um trabalho do dr. Aben-Athar, que conclui parece-nos, por um apreciável contato entre a lepra e a uncinariose. Mau grado nosso, nem se nos deu prazer da leitura do artigo do dr. Penna, nem ainda conhecemos o trabalho do dr. Aben-Athar.
