Epidemic of conjoined twins in Southern Africa?
Lancet (London, England)
|October 18, 1975
Abstract:
Eleven sets of conjoined twins have been born in Southern Africa in a period of just over twelve months. Analysis of the circumstance pertaining to the conception and delivery of these children revealed considerable ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic differences. It is possible that a ubiquitous environmental agent is a precipitating factor in this situation.
