...cases of the five Cornell med students were clear-cut, Dr. B. H. Kean, professor of tropical medicine, reported last week. They came down with fever and a rash, headaches around the eyes, aches and pains in their muscles, and many of their lymph nodes were enlarged. Two suffered nausea and two felt a numbness in their legs and feet. Muscle pain was the worst and most persistent symptom, lasting up to a month in some cases...
Until now, the question whether Toxoplasma parasites could come from undercooked beef has been open, although transmission through pork and lamb has been established. Because the five students had not eaten the same food except on the night of the big lecture, Kean is confident that they picked up their parasites from the snack bar's hamburgers. For them, as for most victims, the illness was uncomfortable and not disabling. But Toxoplasma is like rubella in one respect: it wreaks its worst havoc on the unborn child, causing encephalitis, hydrocephalus, heart damage and hepatitis. Says Kean: "If this epidemic...

...Dose of Emetic. Now, Cornell University's Dr. B. H. Kean, a specialist in tropical medicine, and Surgeon Edward I. Goldsmith have devised a method to remove most of the flukes. The two reasoned that when a patient is cut open to have his spleen removed, he might as well be rid of the flukes at the same time. They designed a system of tubes to pipe the blood from the vein entering the patient's liver, pumping it through a filter, and returning it to a vein in the leg (see diagram). In order to lure...
Reporting to the A.M.A. on the results of the first 20 applications of the technique on schistosomiasis victims in Brazil, Dr. Kean said as many as 1,668 worms had been filtered from the blood of a single patient. The patients had been excreting thousands of eggs a day; after the operation, ten excreted no more eggs, suggesting that all the mated flukes had been filtered out of their systems, and seven others showed great improvement. Though it was developed specifically for the fluke Schistosoma mansoni, common in South America and Africa, Drs. Kean and Goldsmith believe the technique...
