A Fatal Case of Severe Malignant Tertian Malaria.

Abstract: 1 p.m. The parasite count was 1,260,000 per c.mm., young rings and scanty schizonts being present. 7$ grains of quinine intravenously was ordered, but only 5 grains could be given as the patient's pulse became very weak, although the injection was given very slowly. Examination of blood every three hours was carried out. 4-50 p.m. The infection was so heavy that it was not possible to do the counts by Sinton's method of the enumeration of parasites against the avian corpuscles. For this reason the percentage of the red blood corpuscles infected and the total red cells per c.mm. were estimated. The latter were 4,680,000 per c.mm., and as 54.2 per cent, of the cells showed the infection the total number of parasites per c.mm. amounted to 2,527,000, i.e., twice the number present before the administration of quinine. 5-30 p.m. A second injection of 8 grains of quinine
