Abstract

Of 98 cases of microscopically diagnosed malaria the Wassermann reaction was positive in seven, all of which showed definite evidence of having had syphilis. Of these seven cases six had febrile attacks and were treated, receiving in two weeks 350 grains of quinine. Since their reactions remained unchanged it is concluded that neither quinine nor malaria affects this test.
