Aplastic Anaemia with Recovery

Abstract

culosis is most often due to the bovine type of bacillus which is conveyed in milk. The researches of Blacklock and Griffith leave no doubt on this point, as they found the bovine type of bacillus in 80 to 82 per cent. of cases with primary foci in the abdomen. We are therefore entitled to assume that in our cases also the bovine type of bacillus predominated. This assumption is sustained by the fact that a majority of the children came from rural areas where children are more often fed on raw milk.
