Abstract
In connection with the 1933 outbreak of epidemic encephalitis in St. Louis, Missouri, the author briefly reviews the symptomatology and epidemiology of the disease and related illnesses throughout the world since 1915 in the light of 15 yrs.'' experience in New York City. She is inclined to favor the hypothesis that the world-wide incidence of unusual involvements of the central nervous system has been due to one infecting agent capable of attacking any part of the central nervous system and inducing highly varied clinical pictures.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
