Abstract

IT is not definitely known whether the adrenals are significantly involved in trypanosomiasis in man or animals. There is, however, some indirect evidence of adrenal hypofunction; for example, injection of adrenocorticotrophic hormone does not relieve the terminal hypoglycæmia of rats parasitized by Trypanosoma equiperdum1; increase in serum potassium observed in infection with Trypanosoma equiperdum and Trypanosoma brucei2,3.
