Case 58.—Chronic recurring bronchitis of fourteen years' standing, the attacks coming on
two or three times every year. The pneumococcus was isolated from the culture sent from
upcountry by post. After injecting 6 doses of vaccine up to 100 million, the patient was
reported as cured, the usual attack which used to come on with the onset of the rains having
been warded off apparently as the result of the vaccine treatment.
This case is cited merely as an instance of one reported as cured but strictly speaking,
one is not justified in classing it as such, considering the intermittent nature of the complaint.
The vaccine has had an undoubted effect for the time being, but the patient cannot be said to
have been fully cured.
Gonorrhœa and infections of the urinary tract .—Of the 16 cases treated, 3 only were
of gonorrhœal urethritis. The rest were the later complications of the disease implicating the
prostate and bladder. The gonococcus was isolated from 2 cases of urethritis and 1 of
cystitis. Staphylococci, streptococci and B. coli were the organisms present in the later
developments including chronic urethritis, cystitis and prostatitis. Of the 8 cases in which
the result of treatment of the autogenous vaccine could be traced, 2 were reported cured, 3 as
improved and, in 3, the treatment was ineffective.
