A Case of Clinical Malaria with Herpes of the Nose

was even ready to go on duty. He was not allowed to do so but was asked to remain in bed. As the patient had taken quinine, the blood was not examined for malarial parasites. The case was diagnosed as malaria and the usual treatment was adopted, viz:? Mistura quinini hydrochloridi (grs. x to the ounce) three times daily. On the following morning he was given 2 ounces of a saline purgative. The temperature remained above normal with slight variations till the 6th morning, when it came down to normal after profuse sweating. On the evening of the 5th August a few blisters were seen on the lower lip. By next morning these had extended to the upper lip and whole of the nose. The nose and lips were red and slightly inflamed, and they were dusted over with a little talcum powder morning and evening. On the 10th August the eruption began to subside and completely disappeared in about a week's time. The only reason for reporting this case is the appearance of herpes of the nose, which seems to be a rare condition in malaria.
