LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir:
We appreciate the comments of Dr. McKenzie. We are also interested in the other side of the coin; the effect of tuberculosis infection on the course of malaria. In our published series of experiments, there was a suggestion that peak parasitemia occurred slightly earlier in co-infected mice, although the gross pathologic appearance of the co-infected organs showed more hemozoin pigmentation suggesting a higher organ burden of parasites.
