HUMAN EQUINE ENCEPHALOMYELITIS IN SASKATCHEWAN IN 1947

[摘要] Eight cases of infants with human equine encephalomyelitis confirmed by neutralization tests have been presented, six having recovered completely and two left with residua, one mentally deficient.Because six months later two additional patients who had abnormal mentality of an obscure nature, a suggestive clinical history and a positive neutralization test were considered to have had human equine encephalomyelitis in this epidemic, it would appear advisable to check the blood of all children with abnormal mentality of an obscure nature against the virus equine encephalomyelitis.
