Abstract
IN his inaugural thesis (Those de Paris,No. 870; 1939), Dr. Robert Schapiro remarks that since the War of 1914-18, during which trench fever was very prevalent both on the French and Italian fronts as well as in Salonica and Mesopotamia, endemic cases have been reported in the south of France and Russia. It is also probable that many cases have passed unrecognized. Reports received from Spanish doctors living in their own country or as refugees in France indicate that there has been an outbreak of the disease in Spain, although Schapiro has been unable to obtain confirmation of this from other sources. The possibility, however, of a return of the disease must be recognized in view of the fact that defective hygienic conditions, and particularly the presence of lice among the troops, favour the spread of trench fever.
