Abstract

This paper reports a program of mass antimalarial therapy accomplished by medical personnel of the armed services in transports of the Military Sea Transportation Service. With the end of hostilities in Korea and with continuation of the antimalarial program as long as troops are returned from the Far East, it is believed that statistics showing the incidence of recurrent malaria in troops returning to the United States during the years 1951, 1952, and 1953 will be of interest. Final evaluation of the efficiency of the program, covering the entire Korean military operation, cannot be accomplished until the admission figures for the summer months of 1954 are available. These figures will give the rates of relapse in the United States for malaria contracted in Korea during the summer of 1953 at the end of the United Nations combat activity. Personnel treated were members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine
