The intradermal reaction in amebiasis.

Studies on the amebiasis skin test were carried out in Amerindians living on reserves of Northern Saskatchewan. Results indicate the skin test to be highly sensitive in patients with acute amebic dysentery and in individuals with a history of amebic disease. A high percentage of asymptomatic school children living on a reserve where amebic disease is of common occurrence were also skin reactors. In a similar group of school children living on a reserve where amebic disease had never been reported but where E. histolytica infection rates are high there were very few reactors. A control group of white adults living in a non-endemic area were uniformly negative to the skin test. A comparison with the indirect hemagglutination test showed a good general correlation, but the skin test proved to be more accurate in cases of acute amebic dysentery in children 5 years of age or under. The skin test appears to have potential as a diagnostic technique and may be of considerable value in defining endemic areas of amebic disease.

AIDS seminars for senior grades in secondary schools.

AIDS seminars lasting 70 minutes, consisting of an oral presentation, a videotape and time for discussion, were offered to students in grades 11, 12 and 13 in secondary schools in the Hamilton Board of Education. Specially chosen teacher and public health nurse facilitators were assigned to sessions. 19 secondary school principals and 1,898 students in 10 schools completed questionnaires about the usefulness of the seminars. Students and principals viewed the seminars. Students and principals viewed the seminar as highly valuable for obtaining new information in sessions with either public health nurse or teacher facilitators. The oral presentation was rated most valuable but students rated the videotape and the discussion components highly as well. The students strongly agreed that the seminar assisted in understanding how STDs could be prevented, and made them aware of the community groups or agencies they could go to for help. A substantially greater number of females than males indicated they wished to attend other seminars.
