Malta Fever in the Punjab
نویسنده
چکیده
During the year 1906, while stationed in Ferozepore in the Punjab, I have had under treatment twelve native soldiers in my Regiment, the 15th Sikhs, suffering from Malta fever, and I think that a few notes about them may be of interest. As they illustrate the different clinical aspects which the disease may present, that Malta fever is endemic in this station, has now been absolutely proved. Lamb has, on two occasions, isolated the micrococcus melitensis from the splenic blood of patients suffering from continued fever in Ferozepore.1 He has also isolated the same micro-organisms from nine cases in Multan.
