In 1933, 1,787 cases were reported in the United States and it seems highly probable that this was but a small proportion of the true total incidence. Among the complications of the disease the occurrence of meningitis has been described. Hartley, Millice, and Jordan,1in 1934, reported a case of meningitis due to undulant fever in which the patient recovered. In their...References1.
