MASSIVE INFECTION OF A VACCINATED PERSON WITH BACILLUS TYPHOSUS

MASSIVE INFECTION OF A VACCINATED PERSON WITH BACILLUS TYPHOSUS That typhoid vaccination produces a high degree of immunity is proved by army statistics, and the fact is generally accepted today. However, no proof has been available that such vaccination could protect against massive infection. This case of massive infection with B. typhosus is reported on account of the rarity of such an occurrence. REPORT OF CASE Oct. 16, 1920, Private First Class F.

He immediately reported the fact and washed his mouth thoroughly, three times, with 50 per cent. alcohol.
