About this work
Description
The project on tropical sprue aimed to study its various manifestations in different areas and populations in the tropics by collaborating in the gathering of data from Singapore, Vellore, Nairobi, and the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith. The effects of treatment with antibiotics or folic acid and B12 were monitored and blood and stool samples sent to DL Mollin at Hammersmith. The findings were published in Tropical Sprue and Megaloblastic Anaemia, DL Mollin, et al, Edinburgh, 1972
