[Excerpt from Wilbur A. Sawyer's diary concerning his own yellow fever]
Description:
The Rockefeller Foundation's Yellow Fever Laboratory was established in June 1928 and placed under Sawyer's direction. Like many of the staff who worked with yellow fever virus, Sawyer contracted the disease despite elaborate measures taken to prevent infection. He entered a brief account of the experience, including daily temperature and pulse readings, in his diary.
