Abstract
All patients were proved to have the disease by positive cultures of blood or urine or both. Only 4 were females, but this was due to conditions of hospitalization. Clinical data cover age, sources of infection, onset and duration of symptoms, fever, arthralgia, and manifestations in neuromuscular, dermal, gastronic intestinal respiratory, genitourinary and lymphatic systems. Laboratory data included blood and urine cultures, the organisms being typed, together with studies of blood and urine. Thus is built a picture of the disease to guide clinicians in arrival at a diagnosis.Keywords
