The Blood Platelets in Pneumococcus Infections
1. A study was made of the behavior of the blood platelets during the course of pneumonia in man, as also in several rabbits experimentally infected with pneumococci. 2. The number of platelets begins to diminish after the infection has become established. A thrombopenia occurs during the febrile period. Immediately following the onset of the crisis in lobar pneumonia or after the temperature b...
متن کاملStudies on Blood Changes in Pneumococcus Infections
In the occasional cases of pneumonia which show a decrease in the oxygen capacity of the blood, the decrease is probably due to a formation of methemoglobin. The latter is removed from the circulation, however, as rapidly as it is formed, so that it can seldom be detected even qualitatively, and is probably never a cause of cyanosis.

present in normal human plasma and serum. We have identified this factor as immunoglobulin by: (a) removing it from plasma and serum with solid phase antiFab antibody; (b) demonstrating its absence from the serum of an individual with severe immunoglobulin deficiency; and, (c) showing its presence in IgG preparations isolated from normal individuals. Evidence suggesting that the release reactio...
متن کاملExperimental Studies on Pneumococcus Infections
1. Phagocytosis of pneumococci in vitro runs parallel with phagocytosis in vivo. 2. Virulence depends not only on resistance to phagocytosis, but also on the ability to grow in the body of the animal. 3. The biological reaction of the pigeon to pneumococcus infection does not differ from that of the mouse. 4. The "immunity" of the pigeon to pneumococcus infection is due to its normal high tempe...
متن کاملStudies on Host Factors in Pneumococcus Infections
The power of specific antipneumococcus serum to protect rabbits against infection with Type I Pneumococcus has been studied with reference to the capacity of the animal to utilize the specific antibodies. Under conditions ensuring relatively controlled genetic factors it was found that heavier animals and those with high white blood cell counts are much better able to utilize the passively conf...
