From 72 cases of pyrexial illness, occurring in British Guiana, an organism has been isolated which has the cultural and serological reactions of B. para-typhosus C (Hirschfeld). It seems probable that enteric fever, due to infection with this organism, is now endemic in the Colony, and is an important cause of sickness and death.
