Two Cases of Pyrexia from B. Columbensis

چکیده
tion. In two very interesting cases which have come under the observation of the present writers, the symptoms were suggestive rather of a B. coli infection of the urinary tract than of a fever of the enteric group. In both cases however it was possible to make a positive diagnosis of B. columbensis infection of the urinary tract, the bacteriological test being confirmed by an agglutination reaction against B. columbensis which is very similar to the para-typhoid group in its morphological characters and sugar reactions.
