  "There appears to be an increase of influenza-like illness in further civilian groups. A school-centered outbreak has occurred in Mississippi and a housing development has been affected in California. A Florida community also appears to have experienced an increased incidence of influenza-like illness in the past weeks. The over letter which accompanied recently distributed animal-line A.Japan305/57 virus is included in this report. An outline of the perio-date treatment of serum for removal of nonspecific inhibitor is repeated also. Asian strain influenza virus has been isolated from lung tissue obtained in an autopsy from another influenza-assoicated death." - p. 2
