In 1917 and 1918 Tunnicliff announced that she was able to obtain cocci from the blood of cases of measles in the pre-eruptive and eruptive stages of the disease. It was claimed that anaerobic methods were necessary for their isolation, but after the initial growth appeared these organisms could be sub-cultured aerobically. Later, this worker (Tunnicliff, 1919) found a similar organism to be the predominating species in cultures obtained from the sputum of acutely ill cases. Caronia (1923) reported that he was able to isolate with great regularity a small diplococcus from the blood of measles cases by using the Tarozzi-Noguchi medium.
