Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of an expedition to the Congo in 1903-05, led by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, on the prevalence and transmission of sleeping sickness. The reports in this volume are the third in a series of progress updates from the expedition and focus on gland palpation as a novel diagnostic technique for identifying trypanosomes as the causative agents of sleeping sickness. The authors describe the technique and compare its efficacy with other diagnostic methods used at the time, demonstrating its superiority. The authors then present a groundbreaking study of lymphatic enlargement as an indicator of sleeping sickness infection, concluding that in heavily infected regions, almost all cases of unexplained lymphadenopathy can be attributed to sleeping sickness. This work is significant in providing a simple and effective tool for diagnosing sleeping sickness in regions where the disease is prevalent, a major advance in the fight against this devastating disease.
