Two cases of falciparum malaria resistant to chloroquine are reported. The first patient was infected in West Irian and the second patient in East Kalimantan. The chloroquine-resistance of the infecting parasite was confirmed by quantitative determina-tion of parasite count daily when 1, 500 mg or 2, 100 mg of chloroquine were given to the patient. The determination of chloroquine in the blood and urine confirmed that the drug was absorbed and reached sufficient plasma levels to eradicate chloroquine-sensitive P. falciparum. The erythrocyte contained several times more chloroquine than the plasma. The in vitro chloroquine-sensitivity test of the parasites revealed that they were as re-sistent as the Malayan Camp strain. The 50 percent maturation inhibition concentration of chloroquine against the two strains was 0.6 nM/m/ of whole blood. These clinical and laboratory studies indicated that the West Irian strain was RI and the East Kalimantan strain RII resistant to chloroquine.

著者らは1971年ケニア, ナクルーのRift Valley Provincial Hospita1に入院した熱帯熱マラリア患者23例を対象としてSulfamonomethoxineを経口及び静注により投与しマラリア原虫に対する効果を検討した。
その結果全例に原虫の消失がみられた。原虫陰転までの期間は経口法に比べ静注法が短い。
又本剤はクロnキン不感受性株にもすぐれた効果を示した。サルファ剤のschizontocidal effectにっいて文献的考察を試みた。

昭和48年7月から翌年3月までブラジル, サンパウロ州で植林と牧場仕事に従事した神奈川県津久井町の男子 (70才) が, 昭和49年2月頃ブラジルで蚊に吸血された左腕及び左胸部の後がシコリとなり, 痛みを伴ったことから, 帰国後津久井赤十字病院を訪れ, 左手部・左側胸部肉芽腫症の診断名で患部が切除され, 割が入れられた所虫体が発見された。本虫は体の前半部が後半部より肥大しており, 1対の口鉤は良く発達して太い鉤状をなし, 体表をおおう棘は体前半部で特に太く, 短かく, 先が曲がっていることからDermatobia hominisと同定された。
このような流行地以外での症例は1912年にBuchがアメリカ合衆国で報告して以来各地で報告され, 特に航空機の急激な発達をみた1960年以降は世界各地でみられている。従って, 流行地以外での本症の診断技術と治療法については認識しておく必要がある。
本症例はわが国におけるDermatobia hominisによる皮膚ハエ蛆症の最初の輸入報告例である。

The parasitological survey was made on the residents in Ikei Island of Okinawa in December 1972 and in July 1973.
1) For the fecal and perianal examination of intestinal helminthic parasites, the serophan thick smear method, the filter paper culture method and the pinworm adhesive serophan tape method were used.
The parasite species and their positive cases found from stool and perianal samples examined in 1972 were Necator americanus 20 of 356 (5.6%), Strongyloides stercoralis 7 of 306 (2.3%), Enterobius vermicularis 26 of 283 (9.2%), Heterophyes sp. 3 of 319 (0.9%), Trichuris trichiura 1 of 319 (0.3%) and Hymenolepis nana 1 of 319 (0.3%), and those in 1973 were N. americanus 2 of 162 (1.2%), S. stercoralis 5 of 162 (3.1%), E. vermicularis 3 of 156 (1.9%), Heterophyes sp. 1 of 162 (0.6%) and T. trichiura 1 of 162 (0.6%) respectively.
Necator and Strongyloides were found from adults, while pinworm was mainly from children, and Ascaris was not found at all in this Island.
2) For treatment of parasite positive cases in our survey, following anthelmintics were administered respectively; for hookworm disease 2 g as base of 1-brom-naphthol (2) twice a day for 2 days, for strongyloidiasis 5 mg/kg/day as base of pyrvinium pamoate suspension for 4 successive days and for oxyuriasis 5 mg/kg as base of pyrvinium pamoate in a single dose.
One month after the treatment, 11 out of 14 cases of hookworm disease, 2 out of 4 cases of strongyloidiasis and 12 out of 17 cases of oxyuriasis became negative in the reexamination.
3) On the survey of filariasis, the 30 cmm thick blood smear method and the filarial skin test, with Sawada Antigen FST3 10 7., were carried out in July 1973.
The positive cases of Microfilaria bancrofti were found from 11 of 272 cases examined (4.0%) and the mean number of microfilaria per 30 cmm blood samples (MFD) in positive cases was 13.3 microfilariae with highest density of 61 microfilariae.
Among the positive cases, one has shown mild symptoms of acute filariasis but others were asymptomatic carriers. On the age of the carriers, one was 17 years old female and others were older than 42 years.
The positive cases of skin test were found in 93 out of 192 cases examined (48.4%), and the high positive rates were revealed in young age group as well as in old age groups.
4) The mosquitoes collected during the survey in 1973 were adults of Armigeres subalbatus, Culex fatigans, Aedes albopictus and some Aedes togoi by light traps, and larvae of A. albopictus, A. togoi and some Toxorhynchtes sp. from breeding places of different kinds.
5) Hemagglutinating antibody for toxoplasma was examined with Hanaki-Nobuto's method in July 1973, and the positive cases (1 : 256<) were 14 out of 79 adult serums examined (17.7 %).
