[Toxoplasmosis and contact with animals: study of 390 cases].
Three hundred and ninety patients with suspected toxoplasmosis due to their contact with animales--they owned them, or work with them--are studied. The great significance of this way of acquiring the disease is stated. Every patient had a complement fixation test and an intradermal reaction test with toxoplasmine. An 85.2% positiveness to complement fixation, and a 64.1% to intradermal test were found among those patients who informed animal contact; a 70,6% positiveness to complement fixation, and a 56,2% to intradermal reaction was found in the patients who denied having any contact with animals. This showed both the importance of animal contact as well as other forms of transmission. The contacts were also studied, and the animals were classified according to J. Jira, the researcher: maximal, high, minimal and unreceptiveness to toxoplasma. The possibility of acquiring toxoplasmosis from other sources besides the close contact with animals must be taken into consideration.
[Results of intradermal tests with toxoplasmin in a survey performed among mental patients admitted to the clinical surgical teaching hospital "10 de Octubre" in Havana].
Intradermal tests using toxoplasmin were performed among three hundred mentally handicapped patients admitted to the "10 de Octubre" Clinical-Surgical Teaching Hospital in Havana between 1976--1977 and 100 healthy subjects. A statistically significant difference between reactors among patients (54,7%) and reactors among healthy subjects (30,0%) was found. Results are compared to those from a similar paper performed in the Psychiatric Hospital of Havana in 1967. It is concluded that the higher the severity of affections the higher the percentage of reactors in the surveyed series.

[Reactivity of the intradermal test with toxoplasmosis in schizophrenic patients].
A hundred schizophrenic patients admitted to the "10 de Octubre" Clinical-Surgical Teaching Hospital and 158 schizophrenic patients admitted to the Psychiatric Hospital, both in Havana, and 100 control healthy individuals who did not consume psychopharmacons were studied. They underwent intradermal tests with toxoplasmin. Differences in reactor percentages between patients and healthy individuals were statistically significative as it has been reported in the foreign medical literature. The highest percentage of reactors in the group admitted to the Psychiatric Hospital where most advanced schizophreniacs are found leads to the conclusion that the more severe the patient state the higher the frequency and intensity of test reactivity among patients. Other factors as the dwelling conditions, age and sex are analyzed.

[Reactivity of toxoplasmin intradermal test in neurotic and manic-depressive patients].
Fifty patients with manic-depressive psychosis, 120 neurotics and 100 healthy individuals were studied. They underwent the toxoplasmin intradermal test. The highest percentage of reactors was found among patients with manic-depressive psychosis (66,0%). Patients with depressive neurosis accounted for the highest number among neurotics (55,6%). The intensity of reaction was higher among patients with manic-depressive psychosis. Neurotic patients were compared to schizophrenic patients from a previous study conducted by one out of the authors. It is concluded that the percentage of reactors is higher among patients with depressive mental disorders, and also that this percentage increases with mental deterioration in patients.
[Cuban bibliography on toxoplasmosis (1913-1958)].
All reports written in Cuba about toxoplasmosis (1913-58) are listed in chronological order, both those that have appeared in a publication and those which have been submitted to at a scientific meeting though they may still remain unpublished. Brief explanatory notes are commented upon each one and the place to find them are listed.
