The evidence to be offered will be considered under the following sub-divisions, viz.: epidemiological, clinical, serological, bacteriological, pathological and roentgenographical. An effort will then be made to correlate the findings reported under the respective headings and to apply them in diagnosis and therapy. The material which forms the basis for this study includes 400 cases of acute bacillary...References1.
