Extract
The term “dysentery” in mental hospitals may be regarded as applicable to a clinical entity characterized by symptoms of abdominal pain, rise of temperature and passage of blood and mucus. The causative organisms are various, but that occurring most frequently and persistently is the Bacillus dysenteriæ of Flexner. This paper deals exclusively with this type of asylum dysentery.
