Leishmaniasis in South West Africa/Namibia to date.

A total of 34 patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) have been diagnosed in South West Africa/Namibia since 1970. Visceral leishmaniasis has not occurred. So far a sandfly Phlebotomus rossi has emerged as a possible vector of the disease in man. Several aspects of vector incrimination and bionomics still need clarification. Further carefully planned and directed field studies are required in an attempt to identify the reservoir host for human CL.

Bernard-Soulier syndrome in two Afrikaner families.

The hereditary autosomal recessive disorder of platelet function known as the Bernard-Soulier syndrome (B-SS) is described in two Afrikaner families. Consanguinity exists in one of the families, which is descended from Trekboer Afrikaners who migrated from Rustenburg, Transvaal, to Angola in 1876 and then to SWA/Namibia in the 1920s. Since both families have French Huguenot ancestors and since there are 7 confirmed and 5 reported cases of B-SS in these two families, founder effect may be operating and causing this rare disorder to occur more frequently in this population group than would otherwise be expected.

The clinical and histological features of South West African cutaneous leishmaniasis.

The clinical and histological features of 18 cases of dermal leishmaniasis encountered in South West Africa are described and discussed. The anatomical distribution of the leishmanial lesions differs from that encountered elsewhere in Africa, but the histopathological changes follow a pattern similar to that of Oriental sore in other parts of the world.
