[Focus of amebiasis in a psychiatric hospital in the east of France].
At the occasion of the discovery of an amoebiasis focus in a psychiatric hospital (36,2 % of the patients were Entamoeba histolytica carriers), the authors insist on the importance of systematical and continued coprological controls. They observe that the two means of fight used together, the environment and the mass treatment, have strongly limited the propagation of parasitosis. By this way they note efficiency of the association of the medicinal polyvalent and contact amoebicides.
