A medical survey among the Twi Dinka in 1930

Abstract

Small Pox had been reported from the Kongor area and this place was used as my headquarters. When I arrived at Kongor, one case of Small Pox remained, a dresser from Kongor dispensary, who had contracted it while looking after a case; it was fairly severe with a copious rash but he recovered completely. Three other cases were seen at Deishwek about seven miles south of Kongor, all occurred in the same family, were mild in type, and all recovered. The source of the infection was not trackable.
