Abstract
In all tropical and sub- tropical countries
bowel disorders are of Prìrne importance: particularly
is this so in Egypt, where every newcomer develops,
sooner or later, intestinal upset - popularly designated "Gippy Tummy" - possibly one attack and then
apparent immunity for years, more frequently irregularly recurrent attacks. - Especially was this importance evident
during the War period when the crippling effects of
Dysentery were seen on the Forces as a whole in drainage from the Field and on the individual in the debilitated sufferers invalided home, in Convalescent
Depots or on Base Duty - The term merely indicates a symptom, the
modern equivalent of the older "Bloodie Flux" or,
alternatively, a clinical grouping of cases such as
show a colitis with the passage of frequent stools
containing, or consisting of blood and mucus. |
