The infection usually manifests itself on the skin, as pointed out by Wile,¹ in the form of acneform pustules, granuloma-like ulcers, deep-seated abscesses and nodules, the last-mentioned lesions varying in size and showing no tendency to ulceration.

Footnotes
This paper was intended for publication by Dr. William H. Mook before his death, which occurred on Nov. 3, 1934. Owing to the complications of routine and investigative work that was in progress the material was set aside for such a time as would permit its complete preparation. After Dr. Mook's untimely death the data seemed of sufficient interest to warrant the completion and publication of the report.
