On the question of malarial lesions of the peripheral nervous system

Among the most common chronic infectious diseases, malaria with its various manifestations is indisputably one of the first places. In everyday practice, at every step we have to meet with one or another form of malaria, and we are so used to it that sometimes we notice only cases with a more definite clinical picture and often look through less clear, latent forms of malaria, suggesting a different etiology here. This situation is mainly due to the extremely large variety of malaria diseases, often occurring under the guise of other diseases. It is pertinent to recall the words of Dr. Bogoraz about some of the manifestations of malarial infection, which resembled surgical diseases: "Of the diseases known to science, only syphilis and tubercles can compete with swamp diseases in a variety and variety of manifestations."
