[Notes on the sources for the study of malariatherapy in Italy].
The article presents the results of a critical evaluation of the clinical histories of 1240 cases of progressive paresis recorded in the S. Maria della Pieta (1911-1950) and reconstructs the scientific discussion about the results of malariatherapy and its action mechanism. The bibliographical study led to a regional characterization of the therapy in the scientific orientation and techniques. The authors are now working out the data, hoping for a future debate on the topic.
