Abstract: and transient swelling of face, body, and limbs (1); hypopyon of left eye (1); acute monarticular arthritis (1); and sulphonamide crystalluria (1).Of the 12 meningococcal isolates obtained so far only one has shown sulphonamide resistance employing standard disc diffusion methods.Three of the four most recent strains have been found to be groupo I meningococci, the fourth belonging to group C. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the group B strains to sodium sulpha- diazine was 16 Mg/ml, and in two of them it was 0 4 ,ug/ml to benzylpenicillin.Follow- up studies on six patients (including four infants less than 1 year of age) 4-10 weeks after discharge showed no evidence of residual damage.-Weare, etc.,
