CHRONIC CORTICAL ABSCESS OF THE ULNA CAUSED BY THE BACILLUS TYPHOSUS

EDMUND HORGAN M.D.

1. The patient in the case being reported had injured her left forearm during an attack of typhoid.

2. Following the injury a swelling appeared on the left forearm.

3. For a year there was intermittent pain in the swollen area, the pain gradually growing more constant and more intense.

4. A roentgenogram showed a circumscribed abscess in the cortex of the left ulna.

5. The bone abscess was opened with a chisel and the cavity curetted.

6. The bacillus typhosus was obtained from pus taken from the bone abscess.

7. Six months after the bone abscess was opened, a roentgenogram showed the left ulna to be normal except for a slight irregularity of the surface of the cortex.

8. Three and a half years have elapsed, and there has been no recurrence of the abscess.
