Abstract
THE procedures for isolation and identification of the rubella virus, reported by Parkman, Buescher and Artenstein1 and Weiler and Neva,2 make possible precise definition of the disease and invite investigations to correlate its natural course and epidemiology with laboratory observations. Through the co-operation of Naval Medical Research Unit No. 4 it was possible to study 34 naval recruits with rubella at the United States Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois, where the disease is endemic.Materials and MethodsRecruits exhibiting a rubelliform rash, a total peripheral leukocyte count of less than 10,000 and a throat culture negative for beta-hemolytic streptococci . . .Keywords
