The Relation of Altered Local Tissue Reactivity (shwartzman Phenomenon) to Infection and Inflammation

چکیده

Living B. aertrycke were effective in place of aertrycke filtrate as either the preparatory or the provocative injection in the production of a positive Shwartzman reaction. When living B. aertrycke were injected subcutaneously a more severe inflammation resulted, organization was delayed, and more living organisms survived at the site of inoculation in rabbits that had received 24 hours later an intravenous injection of B. aertrycke filtrate than was the case in similarly infected rabbits that had not received a subsequent injection of bacterial filtrate. When a local state of hypersusceptibility was created by the subcutaneous injection of B. aertrycke filtrate, the subsequent (24 hours) injection of living B. aertrycke led to the development at the site of subcutaneous preparation of a hemorrhagic necrosing inflammation in which the bacteria localized.

Phenomenon of Local Skin Reactivity to Bacterial Filtrates in Its Relation to Bacterial Hypersensitiveness

The observations reported in this paper demonstrate that the intravascular interaction of bacterial and animal protein antigens with homologous antibodies at the site of a tissue made vulnerable by bacterial filtrates induces prompt severe hemorrhagic necrosis in this tissue. In the light of these observations there is offered an explanation of the mechanism underlying focal and skin bacterial ...

Concerning the Specificity and Nature of the Phenomenon of Local Skin Reactivity to Various Bacterial Filtrates

The specifcity and the nature of the phenomenon of local skin reactivity to various microorganisms have been studied. It has been shown that the skin preparatory and reacting factors of various biologically and serologically unrelated microorganisms are able to substitute for each other, provided they have the power of eliciting the phenomenon for themselves. Additional evidence has been brough...

A Comparison of the Effects on the Shwartzman Phenomenon of Leukopenia Produced by Nitrogen Mustard and by Whole Body Irradiation

The effect of leukopenia on the susceptibility of rabbits to the localized Shwartzman reaction was studied in those receiving whole body irradiation and nitrogen mustard respectively. Of animals receiving nitrogen mustard in which the total polymorphonuclear leukocyte count was less than 100 cells/c.mm. only 17 per cent developed positive local Shwartzman reactions whereas 75 per cent of irradi...

Metabolism of Acid Mucopolysaccharides in the Shwartzman Phenomenon* by Gerald

The two-stage inflammatory state observed by Sanarelli (1) and by Shwartzman (2) is considered an interesting, although not entirely understood, reaction of tissue. The reaction localized to skin, referred to as the Shwartzman phenomenon, represents a special type of inflammatory change, one requiring "preparation" of tissue by intracutaneous injection, usually of an endotoxin from Gram-negativ...

Phenomenon of Local Skin Reactivity to Bacillus Tuberculosis

New toxic substances in certain tuberculin, O.T., and B. typhosus culture filtrates are described. These substances are capable of eliciting the hemorrhagic necrosis characteristic of the phenomenon of local skin reactivity provided heterologous bacterial filtrates of high potency are used either for the intradermal or the intravenous injection. The toxic substances apparently have no relations...
