“…Zlatogoroff and his co-workers (1928) obtained from the blood of measles cases an organism similar to that isolated by Caronia in 1923. Park, Williams and Wilson (1927) have cast doubts on the relationship of the green-producing cocci to measles. They isolated similar organisms from 84 per cent.…”

In 1917 and 1918 Tunnicliff announced that she was able to obtain cocci from the blood of cases of measles in the pre-eruptive and eruptive stages of the disease. It was claimed that anaerobic methods were necessary for their isolation, but after the initial growth appeared these organisms could be sub-cultured aerobically. Later, this worker (Tunnicliff, 1919) found a similar organism to be the predominating species in cultures obtained from the sputum of acutely ill cases. Caronia (1923) reported that he was able to isolate with great regularity a small diplococcus from the blood of measles cases by using the Tarozzi-Noguchi medium.
