Amebic and Bacillary Colitis in the New Orleans Area*

Preliminary Report

Joseph S. D'Antoni
From the Department of Tropical Medicine, Tulane Medical School, New Orleans, La.

In the cases of amebic colitis studied in New Orleans a combination of sigmoidoscopic examinations and purgative and enema specimens were found to be superior to either technic alone in establishing a specific diagnosis.

Diodoquin given in a total dosage of 180 tablets over a period of twenty days cured 37 out of 38 cases.

S. sonnei was the most frequent cause of Shigella colitis in the New Orleans area.

A sugar free, low residue diet was found of value in controlling Shigella colitis symptoms.

Received November 12, 1941.
