Rectal swabs were taken when she visited hospital and
these proved to be mostly negative although on one or two
occasions positive results were obtained which confirmed
the suspicion that she was an intermittent excreter of
typhoid organisms Early in December, however Mrs A.
had further symptoms of gall stones and was readmitted
to St George's Hospital, Tooting, where she underwent
another operation It is hoped that after recovery she
will no longer be a carrier of typhoid organisms and that
the difficult public health problem she has presented
will be resolved.
