"Proceedings of the International Conference on Health Problems in Tropical America" is an exhaustive compilation of scientific research and professional discussions from a pivotal gathering of medical experts in the early 20th century. This work captures the collaborative efforts of international physicians, researchers, and public health officials as they addressed the most pressing health challenges facing tropical regions at the time.

The volume provides detailed insights into the study and treatment of endemic diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, hookworm, and various parasitic infections. Through technical papers and reports on clinical observations, the text documents the progress of tropical medicine and the implementation of large-scale sanitation projects across Central America and the Caribbean. By focusing on both the biological nature of these ailments and the socio-economic factors influencing their spread, the proceedings offer a comprehensive view of the era's medical landscape.

As a significant record of scientific history, this collection illustrates the evolution of global health policy and the foundations of modern epidemiology. It is an invaluable resource for students of medical history, public health professionals, and those interested in the scientific endeavors that shaped healthcare in the Western Hemisphere during a transformative period of discovery.

Christiaan Eijkman received the Nobel prize for Medicine in 1929 for his discovery that beri-beri is a vitamin-deficiency disease. He had conducted his seminal research on the disease in the fonner Dutch East Indies between 1886 and 1898 at the location of. the present Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology in Jakarta. In 1998, the first International Eijkman Symposium was held in The Hague, The Netherlands, to celebrate the fact that exactly 100 years earlier Christiaan Eijkman was inaugurated as full professor in Hygiene and Bacteriology at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. The Eijkman-Winkler Centre for Microbiology, Infectious Diseases and Inflammation is the direct descendant of Eijkman's department in Utrecht. vii Contributing Authors Bacbti Alisjabbana Department of Internal Medicine Padjadjaran University (UNP AD) Dr Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung Indonesia Kevin Baird US Navy Medical Research Unit-2 J1.
