Page 23 - Neisser,s stain were used for identification. The bacteria were found in normal as well as albuminous urine. showing that they pass through healthy as well as diseased kidneys. In most cases they were very few in number. No clinical data are furnished in regard to the severity or outcome of the cases giving positive results.
