Summary: | Two cases of acute colitis due to salmonella changhai were experienced in Matsuyama, Ujiie, Tochigi Prefecture. The major symptoms consisted of high fever (40°C at maximum), vomiting (twice a day), headache and abdominal pain with muddy stools containing mucus. One of the patients showed Ekiri-like symptoms. Both cases were well controlled by the administation of streptomycin and thiazin, for a week. A gram-negative rod isolated from both patients demonstrated general characteristics of salmonella, and on the other hand, the convalescent sera showed a high agglutinin titer against it. The organism with an antigenic structure 16: 1, v: 1, 6 proved to be serologically entirely identical with salmonella changhai by the cross-agglutinin-absorbtion tests. From the above findings, it was concluded that the acute colitis was caused by salmonella changhai. |
