Extract

The improvement of general paralysis by treatment with malaria is known to be accompanied by—and may be said to be due to—the disappearance of the spirochætes from the brain. The problem of the mode of action of this therapy therefore is centred in the question to what factor the antispirochætal effect of malaria is due.
