The utility of the skin and precipitin tests developed by Bachman in that year has been remarked by several later observers, and this report adds further confirmatory evidence regarding the accuracy and sensitivity of these tests.The disease occurs more commonly than is generally known. The United States Public Health Service for the year 1932 reported 263 cases from 15 states. For the first nine months of 1933, 13 states reported 208...Bibliography GROVE JS: Use of antimony and potassium tartrate in trichinosis, Jr. Am. Med. Assoc., 1925, lxxxv, 349-350.
