Risk factors for malaria among British missionaries living in tropical countries.

Thirty-two episodes of malaria (10 confirmed by laboratory tests) were reported by 162 people living in 18 developing countries under the auspices of one British missionary society. Malaria was endemic in all countries involved, and a total of 367 person-years were observed. The overall incidence rate for malaria was 87.3 per 1000 person-years at risk. Important factors identified were residence in West Africa compared with elsewhere (relative risk (RR) = 13.0, P less than 0.001), being in the 20-39 year age group (RR = 3.2, P less than 0.002), history of gastroenteritis (RR = 3.1, P less than 0.002) and living in a rural area (RR = 1.7, n.s.). Chemoprophylaxis was taken by 119 people (73.5%).

Aid for International Medicine, Inc. (AIM) our first 25 years.

At the city limits of Newark, Delaware, are signs which say in part, "Welcome to Newark, a city rich in history, past and present." That sounds strange to our ears, but it does serve to point out that history is being made all the time - every day. Part of the medical history in Delaware being "made every day" concerns AIM, Aid for International Medicine, Inc. a Delaware corporation started in 1964, largely through the efforts of our own John M. Levinson. In the following article he records the chronology and accomplishments of this unusual organization. This is so different from our usual articles that I had some misgivings about publishing it. I sent it out to all members of our editorial board. The response was overwhelmingly and enthusiastically in favor of publishing it, so here it is, AIM as seen through Jack Levinson's eyes. I hope you enjoy it as much as our editorial board did.
