THE WORK OF A CHRONIC TYPHOID GERM DISTRIBUTOR.

THE WORK OF A CHRONIC TYPHOID GERM DISTRIBUTOR. In the winter of 1906 I was called on to investigate a household epidemic of typhoid fever which had broken out in the latter part of August at Oyster Bay, N. Y. The epidemic had been studied carefully immediately after it took place, but its cause had not been ascertained with as much certainty as seemed desirable to the owner of the property. The essential facts concerning the investigation follow: THE OYSTER BAY OUTBREAK. At Oyster Bay in the summer of 1906 six persons in a household of eleven were attacked with typhoid fever. The house was large, surrounded with ample grounds, in a desirable part of the village, and had been rented for the summer by a New York banker. The first person was taken sick on August 27 and the last on September 3. The diagnosis of typhoid was positive. Two of the patients were sent to the http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
