Of these 17, 9 were Cutter associated cases from Californiaa (8) and Arizona (l), which had been previously reported to PSU but were being held in the files pending further investigation. Of 5 new Lilly associated cases, 4 (2 from Virginia, 1 from Texas and 1 from Arkansas) shov non-paralytic and one was paralytic (a case from Louisiana which did not show correlation between site of inoculation and site of first paralysis).
