Undernutrition

JOURNAL827Medical Record, 1922, 20, 209, and asked if any similar cases had been observed in other places, there being an epidemic of ;'paracholera" reported about that time.Nobody took any notice of my short paper and I was disappointed not to hear of any similar cases.As I said, the case was typically Asiatic cholera, with very violent vomiting, diarrhoea, cramps, and collapse, with ricewater stools, but bacteriologically no organism was found but pure streptococcus.I wonder if such symptoms have often been associated with pure streptococcal infection.It is very interesting to note the great difference from the clinical manifestations of staphylococcal infection as reported in the paper recently published.-Iam, etc., Durban.
