Clivio and Monti of Pavia2 found in five cases of puerperal peritonitis inthe fluid contained in the abdomen a streptococcus which was identical withFehleisens streptococcus of erysipelas and with Rosenbachs streptococcus ofsuppuration, and similar streptococci were found in phlegmonous abscesses inother diseases. Lustig of Turin3 found this same streptococcus in the bloodof the spleens and the hearts of women who died from puerperal endometritisand
