Intensive Antisyphilitic Treatment Following Induced Malaria in Nineteen Cases of General Paralysis

J. C. Ramsay, M.B.Belf., D.P.M., Assistant Medical Officer

Claybury Mental Hospital

ABSTRACT

Summary and Comparison of Results: The percentage of "successes" in Group II is 3% less than the average in the remaining groups. The percentage of discharged in Group II is 1% greater than the average in the remaining three groups.

The percentage of failures (i.e., "worse," "died") in Group II is 5% less than the average in the remaining three groups.

Assuming that cases with a short history react most favourably to any treatment, one would expect, on comparing the ratios 3·7 : 6·9 (Group II) in Table II with the corresponding ratios 10·6 : 12·8, 8 : 8·1, 21·1 : 13·7, in the other groups, that notably better results would be obtained in the intensively treated group.
