Abstract
Recent studies have established that the occurrence of common cold epidemics amongst men in Antarctica shows a pattern similar to that seen in other isolated communities such as Tristan da Cunha (Cameron & Moore, 1968; Shibli, Gooch, Lewis & Tyrrell, 1971). Colds occur during relief periods when ships and aircraft call, and disappear during the months of winter isolation, but no statistical analysis of the incidence of such colds is available.Keywords
