Studies on Tuberculin Fever
In a search for the source of the circulating endogenous pyrogen (EP) that mediates tuberculin-induced fever, tuberculin was incubated in vitro with various tissues of rabbits sensitized by intravenous infection with BCG. Evidence was obtained that tuberculin specifically stimulates cells in the blood of sensitized rabbits to generate pyrogen in vitro, whereas both lymph node and spleen cells f...
متن کاملStudies on Typhus Fever
1. The blood of guinea pigs convalescent from Old World and New World typhus infection develops agglutinating properties for the tunica and rat Rickettsiae of the New World diseases and for the louse Rickettsia of the Old World disease. 2. The two microorganisms are closely related, though probably not identical. 3. Human convalescents of both varieties of typhus develop agglutinins for both ty...

into rabbits. In previous studies this method demonstrated release of leukocyte endogenous pyrogen by etiocholanolone. With two exceptions, steroids known to cause fever in man, such as 11p-OH etiocholanolone and 3a-hydroxy-5P-pregnane-20-one were also pyrogenic in vitro. All steroids tested which are nonpyrogenic in man, such as androsterone, 3,-OH etiocholanolone, and 3a, 1 7a-dihydroxy-5P-pr...
متن کاملSTUDIES ON TUBERCULIN FEVER* IV. THE PASSIVE TRANSFER OF REACTIVITY WITH VARIOUS TlSSlmS OF SENSITIZED DONOR RABBITS
Fever is a hallmark of tuberculin hypersensitivity. Ever since the dassic papers of von Pirquet (1) and the clinico-pathologic observations of Rich (2), fever has been recognized as a cardinal sign of tuberculous infection. The actual events, however, that lead to elevated body temperature in this disease have remained obscure. Many manifestations of tuberculin hypersensitivity, like the skin t...
متن کاملCytologic Studies on Rheumatic Fever
Scrapings of subcutaneous nodules from ten patients with rheumatic fever were examined microscopically after being stained with supravital dyes. From the uniform results obtained, the following conclusions have been drawn. 1. Supravital staining of cells from these lesions gives information unobtainable with ordinary histologic methods. 2. The scrapings show a great predominance of certain cell...
