The Effect of Aureomycin on Balantidiasis¹

1. Six patients infected with Balantidium coli, three of whom also harbored Endamoeba histolytica, were treated with aureomycin and all remained negative for these infections in frequent post-treatment examinations of two to twelve weeks' duration.

2. In all cases B. coli disappeared within four days of initiation of treatment and it is probable that a shorter course of treatment might prove equally effective against this infection.

¹ Aureomycin used in this study was supplied by Dr. Theodore E. Woodward, School of Medicine, University of Maryland.

² Lt. Col., MSC, now at Sixth Army Area Medical Laboratory, Fort Baker, Calif.

³ Captain, MSC.

⁴ Sincere appreciation is due Captain Howard E. Hall, MC, for administering the drug to the patients and to Mrs. Wilda B. Knight and SFC Rogelio Reyes for their technical assistance.
