[Unusual infectious diseases in a municipal hospital (author's transl)].
The most important criteria for differential diagnosis are presented with reference to case histories: Falciparum malaria: relapsing fever, hemolytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, leucopenia; Kala-azar: insidious course with fever, pancytopenia, macrocytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, enlargement of lymph nodes; echinococcosis: symptoms of a benign tumor with displacement.


METHODS
by identification of the pathogen in malaria and kala-azar, serologically in all three diseases and also radiologically in echinococcosis.
