Abstract
TRICHINOSIS as a clinical disease now occurs very infrequently in this country, and it is not surprising that physicians may not recognize it. For example, in a recent small epidemic involving 13 persons who acquired their infection while passengers on a cruise ship and subsequently became ill in various areas of the United States, in only four was the diagnosis made by their physicians; in the others the physicians were not aware of the diagnosis of trichinosis until informed by the Public Health Service, which had conducted a clinical and serologic survey of the infected passengers.
