The Febrile Reaction In Fatal East Coast Fever- A Review Of 150 Cases

Abstract

Criteria for the assessment of chemotherapy trials in East Coast Fever lave been suggested by Brocklesby, Barnett and Scott (in press). These criteria were based solely on effects on the morbidity and mortality rates of high-grade cattle exposed to the disease. It is considered that such an assessment is the simplest and most reliable method for the final evaluation of new compounds. However, as they point out, the detection of even a slight degree of therapeutic activity in one compound might suggest that it be further examined or lead to the exploration of other similar chemicals.
