At least 83 people died as human guinea pigs in macabre US research on sexually transmitted diseases in Guatemala in the 1940s, a commission ordered by the President, Barack Obama, has concluded.

About 5500 people were subjected to diagnostic testing and more than 1300 were exposed to venereal diseases by human contact or inoculations in research meant to test the drug penicillin, the commission found.

Within that group ''we believe that there were 83 deaths'', said Stephen Hauser, a member of the commission, which has pored over 125,000 documents linked to the episode since being set up by Mr Obama last November.

Of the 1300 people exposed to sexually transmitted diseases in research between 1946 and 1948, ''under 700 received some form of treatment as best as could be documented'', Dr Hauser said.
