Abstract

Medical literature of recent years has contained an increasing number of articles dealing with outbreaks of gastro-enteritis. The articles deal with the etiologic agents, the symptomatology, the epidemiology, and the conveyers of the infectious agent. A variety of names have been given these outbreaks, and many organisms have been accused of being the cause of these conditions. This epidemic is described as an example of an outbreak of this kind, the vehicle being raw milk. Most of the outbreaks reported have shown the causative agent to be carried in some meat food. Nearly all epidemics which involve a large number of people show that milk has been the vector of the infectious agent.
