Abstract
PROF. HLAVA (Bull. Internal. Acad. Sci., l Prague, xv. Ann.) has found, in the blood of children infected with measles, oval or rod-like bodies, which he regards as probably of protozoan nature. In a blood-smear from another infected child (who also exhibited severe anæmia due to the presence of numerous whip-worms in the intestine), sickle-shaped bodies were present in the red corpuscles. These bodies could not be found in the blood of this child on the following day, but there occurred, in the plasma, avoid bodies, which, according to Prof. Hlava, were similar to Leishmania. In the accompanying figure, however, only a single nucleus is shown in each cell, whereas two nuclei arc present in Leishmania.
