Three cases of infection with the virus of vesicular stomatitis in human beings are described. Each presumably was exposed by contact with experimentally infected animals. In two instances a biphasic febrile course occurred. The disease was accompanied by fever, severe general malaise, and muscle pain. Mild stomatitis was noted in two of the three patients. One had suggestive evidence of pneumonitis during the height of the initial febrile period. Subsequently an X-ray of the chest was clear.
