The evidence as to the importance of this organism in relation to the disease is conflicting. This is because in only a small proportion of cases can it be cultivated from the blood and the spinal fluid and because it has not been demonstrated that antibodies against organisms of this group develop in the serum of patients with infectious mononucleosis.

They observed that in all but 3 members of the normal control group the results of |
