592 ACUTE GENERAL INFECTIOUS DISEASES 



Prognosis. As most cases terminate fatally, the prognosis 

 is bad. 



Treatment. No medical treatment is known that has any 

 material effect in controlling this disease after the fowl is 

 once infected. Preventive treatment is by far the most 

 important, and should consist of radical measures of iso- 

 lation and disinfection. (See Fowl Cholera.)
