Cold Agglutinins and Eaton Agent Infections

DUNCAN MACAULAY M.D.1

I read with interest the article, "Cold Agglutinins, Eaton Agent and Respiratory Infections of Children," by Dr. Sussman and his colleagues, (Pediatrics, 38:571, 1966). The authors state, "Experience with cold agglutinins has been derived principally from adults." May I draw their attention to a paper published in 1951 in which I reported the results of an investigation into this phenomenon in 114 infants and children?

That work was done at a time when virological studies were impracticable, and the only correlations that could be attempted were with clinical findings.
