Because of the interest in encephalitic diseases in California a large number of serum specimens was sent in to the Virus and Rickettsial Disease Laboratory of the California State Department of Public Health during 1950. Most of these serums were from patients suspected of having one of the viral encephalitides, but a number of other diagnoses were included. Sixty-five paired serums were tested for agglutinating antibodies against Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae, Lept. canicola, and Lept. pomona. The clinical diagnoses of these 65 were: 14 possible cases of poliomyelitis, 4 cases of Q fever, 2 of lymphocytic choriomeningitis, 2 of possible Coxsackie disease, 1 of meningitis (cause unknown), and 42 of encephalitis (cause unknown). Three of the 65 patients had antibodies against leptospiral antigensMATERIALS AND METHODSThe antigen was prepared from the George William Hooper Foundation cultures originally obtained from Wolff at the Institute of Tropical Hygiene in Amsterdam.
