The interest of this case is due to the fact that the patient from whom this bacillus was isolated was a tabetic in whom a spontaneous fracture of his femur had occurred, and cellulitis developed at the level of the lesion due to a diphtheria-like bacillus. This organism was isolated and obtained in pure culture from the cellulitis and was found present in the films of the pus; also the patient's serum gave a complement fixation reaction with his own bacillus and for syphilis.
