Excerpt from Am bic or Tropical Dysentery: Its Complimentary and Treatment Since Baly chose dysentery as the subject for the Goulstonian Lectures, sixty years ago, there have been many revolutionary changes in our conceptions of disease. At that time dysentery was still prevalent in Great Britain, smouldering for the most part in the slums and hovels of the poorer classes, but occasionally blazing out into virulent epidemics which attacked all sections and grades of society. Thanks to hygienic reform and progress, domestic interest in the condition has considerably narrowed; for, although infection still lurks in the western districts of Scotland and Ireland, and lingers with a strange persistence in many of our most efficient lunatic asylums, dysentery has been practically banished from the general life of England. From an Imperial and Colonial point of view, however, the study of this disease still remains a subject of pre-eminent importance. The recent development of industrial and agricultural activities in our tropical possessions and the increased facilities for communication have resulted in an enormous demand for the services of Europeans, and within the last thirty years the white population has multiplied five-fold. Of the protean climatic diseases which they have still to face, dysentery is second in prevalence only to malaria, and from all classes and races it annually claims an appalling number of victims.

Neuroparasitology and Tropical Neurology, a new volume in The Handbook of Clinical Neurology, provides a comprehensive and contemporary reference on parasitic infections of the human nervous system. Parasitic infections are varied and some are resolved by the host’s immune system, other infections may become established even though unnoticed, and some cause severe disease and death. In our modern world, neuroparasitoses are no longer geographically isolated and these infections now appear worldwide. Outside of a very few well understood pathologies, most parasitic infections have been neglected in the neurological literature and most neurologists have never diagnosed such an infection. This volume details how, with the advent of modern neuroimaging techniques, improved diagnostic applications of molecular biology, more accurate immunodiagnosis, and minimally invasive neurosurgery, human nervous system parasitoses are now diagnosed and treated, with increasing frequency. The book is divided into six sections, and begins with an introduction to the mechanisms of infection, diagnosis, and pathology of parasitic diseases. Subsequent chapters detail protozoan diseases and a section covering each of the major classes of human-infecting helminths: nematodes (roundworms), trematodes (flukes), and cestodes (tapeworms). The final section contains chapters on other important areas of tropical clinical medicine including the neurological complications of venomous bites and tropical nutritional deficiencies. Neuroparasitology and Tropical Neurology will be of interest to neurologists, neurosurgeons and other health professionals encountering patients with parasitic infections. A comprehensive reference resource on the diagnosis and treatment of parasitic infections of the human nervous system Focuses on the impact of modern neuroimaging techniques, improved diagnostic applications of molecular biology, more accurate immunodiagnosis, and minimally invasive neurosurgery to diagnose parasitoses International list of contributors including the leading workers in the field
