The case histories of 19 splenectomy patients are discussed. Of these, four have died, five have had subsequent attacks of malaria, and the remainder have enjoyed good health, although only two patients have been taking regular malaria prophylaxis in this malaria endemic area. The roles of the reticulo-endothelial system and the spleen are discussed in relation to the effects of splenectomy.

Comparison of treatment schedules for Plasmodium vivax infections in the Solomon Islands.

A total of 26 patients infected with Solomon Islands strains of Plasmodium vivax was treated with one of three regimens of cloroquine-primaquine, in an attempt to determine the relapse patterns and the response to treatment of the local strains of parasite. The results suggest that the standard course of chloroquine-primaquine provides a radical cure for the strains of Plasmodium vivax from the Solomon Islands, provided that strict supervision of drug administration is enforced.
