This paper is based on observations by all the authors in the island group, and on further observations made by three of us (R. W. H., R. H. F., and S. E.) upon ourselves and other victims of the disease after return to the United States. We are most grateful to Commander Paul Michael (MC), USNR., Pathologist at the U. S. Naval Hospital, Oakland, for permitting reference to some of his unpublished data, and to numerous other colleagues both in the field and the hospitals who have shared their observations with us. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official views of the Navy Department or the Naval Service at large. This paper was read at the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine.
