Paralytic shellfish poisoning is differentiated from other forms of poisioning from marine animals. An outbreak in a village near Port Moresby is described, and the clinical picture seen in that and subsequent cases (25 plus 3 fatalities) is discussed. The clinical manifestations of almost pure cerebellar incoordination, without other constant neurological signs, is emphasized and the name Ataxic Shellfish Poisoning is suggested. The aetiology whereby toxic marine plakton organisms are siphoned and filtered from the water and accumulate in shellfish is described.
麻痹性贝类中毒与其他海洋动物中毒形式有所不同。本文描述了莫尔斯比港附近一个村庄爆发的疫情，并讨论了该病例及后续病例（25例，3例死亡）的临床表现。文中强调了几乎仅表现为单纯小脑共济失调且无其他持续性神经体征的临床表现，并建议将其命名为共济失调性贝类中毒。文中还描述了有毒海洋浮游生物从水中被虹吸和过滤并在贝类中蓄积的病因。
