Doses of the combined vaccine up to 50 million of each, were given with no apparent benefit.
The doses were, therefore, rapidly increased and after the injection of 500 million of each of
the organisms a great improvement in the condition of the patient was reported.
Case 97.—Young man of 20 years suffering from a severe type of asthma for 3½ months.
Expectoration was free and profuse. The cultivations were made at the Municipal hospital,
Trihinopoly, and sent by post to the laboratory. The pneumococcus was the organism
predominating in the cultures. A course of six injections from 10 to 200 million of the
autogenous vaccine brought about remarkable improvement in the patient's condition. The
lungs cleared up, expectoration ceased and the dyspnœa was considerably reduced and
the patient was enabled to go to his usual work even before completing the course of
injections.
Case 22.—One of secondary pneumococcus infection in tuberculosis of both the lungs.
The temperature ranged from 99° to 103°, and the cough was severe and the expectoration very
profuse. There was great emaciation and anorexia and general and medicinal treatment did
not produce any impression. Five injections of the autogenous pneumococcus vaccine (5 to 15
million) brought the temperature down to normal and the patient's general condition improved
considerably as a direct result of the treatment.
