While attempting to grow M. leprae in an innovated culture medium, organisms similar to Propionibacterium, but not conforming to any of its documented types, were isolated from lepromatous nodules in 10 out of 15 leprosy cases. Subsequently, a similar organism could also be isolated from the depth of the skin of normal persons but not from their skin surface. The possible role of Propionibacterium in the pathogenesis of leprosy or other skin infections has been discussed.

Three patients showing smallpox- and chickenpox-like lesions simultaneously were investigated virologically. Both infections were confirmed in the laboratory and, in one case, by electron microscopy.

Blood samples from 57 contacts of 6 smallpox cases were tested for haemagglutination-inhibiting (HI) and neutralizing antibodies. All 6 contacts who subsequently developed smallpox were unvaccinated and had neutralizing antibody titres of 10 or less. However, 6 unvaccinated contacts with similar antibody levels did not develop smallpox. None of the 41 vaccinated contacts, regardless of their antibody level, contracted the disease.
