In the Medical Research Council's Special Reports, Nos. 91 and 92, and in the Journal of Hygiene, vol. XIV. No. 1, July, 1925, W. G. Savage and P. Bruce White stress the desirability of restricting the term “B. paratyphosus B” to the organism of paratyphoid fever and nothing else, and of designating the organism that most commonly causes food-poisoning outbreaks as B. aertrycke, and not as B. paratyphosus B (type aertrycke). In view of the fact that the features of a paratyphoid fever outbreak due to infected ice-cream, and of an aertrycke enteritis due to infected pork as occurring in Aberdeen in 1925 emphasise the distinction between paratyphoid fever and aertrycke enteritis, it has seemed well to record these two outbreaks in some detail for the purpose of contrasting them the one with the other and with the milkborne Gaertner enteritis which is recorded in the preceding paper.
