Abstract
Stibophen in large doses was given to West African soldiers as standard courses of treatment had been found ineffective. Constant electrocardiographic abnormalities were recorded and one patient developed a severe ventricular dysrhythmia. Such intensive treatment does not appear advisable in West Africans.Keywords
