These isolated, sporadic cases and groups of cases of almost epidemic proportions have been characterized by protean symptoms and findings. Despite numerous efforts at isolation of a definite causative organism, none has been consistently found, and we have had to accept the general impression that a virus is the most likely etiological factor. Mills,2in 1898, first suggested the term "neuronitis"...Bibliography1. OSLER W: The principles and practice of medicine, 1892, D. Appleton and Co., New York, 1077 pp. Google Scholar2.
