Lieut. Commander Lay M. Fox, 31, an internist from Baltimore, got the same story of chills and fever, noted a pustule on the right ankle. In Sakacs' right groin he found two groups of enlarged lymph nodes, each about one inch by two inches. Like 99.9% of U.S. physicians, young Dr. Fox had never seen a case like it.
