TL;DR: The incidence and distribution of malignant lymphoma as well as a marked reversal of the leukemia to lymphoma ratio suggests a significant difference in the natural history of lymphopoietic tumors in African children.

TL;DR: severe diarrhea as a cause of the excessive weight losses found to accompany kwashiorkor in Mexico and elsewhere, serum chemical determinations as an aid to the diagnosis of severity, and the value of therapeutic diets and the magnitude and significance of individual variation in the responses to them are discussed.

TL;DR: Ethionamide was given with streptomycin to seven patients with acute rapidly progressive tuberculosis in Uganda Africans, previously untreated, and it is suggested that further investigation of this drug combination is desirable.

TL;DR: Although all the clinical features of kwashiorkor cannot yet be explained on biochemical grounds, some of them, such as the pallor of the skin, and the changes of the hair, are almost certainly due to deficient enzyme action.

TL;DR: A case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome due to sensitivity to thiosemicarbasone is described and the patient was successfully desensitised and could continue his treatment.
