Popis: Summary A case report of a severe typhoid-like infection due to a paracolon bacillus (paracolon Escherichia ) with Shigella antigens is described. The paracolon organism was isolated repeatedly from stools during the acute stage, and the infection was successfully treated with streptomycin. The patient was found to have no demonstrable agglutinins for the isolated paracolon strain during the acute stage, but subsequently developed a titer of 1/320 during convalescence. The pathogenicity of paracolon organisms for man is discussed.
