Abstract

The article presents a study which explores the prevalence and severity of superficial fungal infections in the Maprik area of New Guinea. It examines the epidemiological features of tinea imbricata infection to observe and culture such fungal infection in a population where clothing is washed without soap and shoes are not usually worn. It assesses the hair, skin, and finger-nails in all age groups and identifies tinea imbricata and tinea versicolor with the appearance of various dermatophytes.

Abstract

Haemagglutination (HA) has been used frequently for the titration of tetanus antitoxin but published results have varied in relation to the "unitage" determined by the mouse toxin-neutralization test (TN). This report gives the results of the titration of a group of sera by haemagglutination and compares them with the results obtained by toxin neutralization. Although there was marked variation between HA and TN titres of individual sera, results indicated that haemagglutination is a useful procedure for the over-all evaluation of the antitoxin responses to tetanus toxoids in field studies.
