Intra-partum Uterine Rupture

Abstract: Ninety unselected cases of acute gastro-enteritis, occurring over a period of nine months in an urban practice, were investigated. In by far the greatest number of these no pathogenic organisms were found. The commonest specific organism isolated was Sh. sonnei. Pr. vulgaris was the next most common. Only one case of infection with Salm. typhi-murium was found. One case was subsequently diagnosed in hospital as food-poisoning (toxin type). Arguments are advanced for the belief that staphylococcal food-poisoning is the commonest cause of mild cases of gastro-enteritis.
