http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60766494

General description of the collection: This collection contains a report titled, "History of Internal Medicine in India-Burma Theater," written by Colonel Herrman L. Blumgart and Major George M. Pike. The report was written after World War II (WWII) for the Historical Unit, U.S. Army Medical Service at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Forest Glenn Section. Most of Part I: "Activities of the Medical Consultant in I-B Theater," is missing. The remaining portion of the report (Part II) describes the most common diseases and environmental hazards in the India-Burma Theater, including diarrheal diseases, malaria, fevers, lead poisoning and skin diseases, with information on the sources/causes of the illnesses, statistics on the impact of each illness, and a description of the preventative measures instituted by the consultants. Due to the blurriness of the original report, a use copy of the report is also included in the collection.
