Although several of these cases have been previously reported,1, 2 our observation of approximately one-half of the entire series during the past three years warrants an analysis of these cases from the clinical viewpoint.Both European and Mexican epidemic typhus have been introduced into the United States from time to time. One of the best known instances of importation from Europe was the Philadelphia epidemic, in 1836, when Gerhard3successfully differentiated...Bibliography1.
