Pyrogenic Reactions Following Intravenous Saline Infusions

چکیده
Sir,?I was interested in the paper entitled ' Pyrogenic reactions following intravenous saline infusions ' by Drs. B. M. Paul and B. C. Chatterjee in the July issue of the' Indian Medical Gazette (Vol. LXXIX, No. 7, p. 304). Nine years ago in the surgical wards of the Mayo Hospital, Lahore, I had occasion to give a particularly large number of intravenous saline infusions for a prolonged period. The much dreaded rigor appeared in not a few of our cases. At that time we were not aware of the result#f*5f researches carried out on a high scientific plane in later years, and referred to inthe above-mentioned paper. We. therefore, like everyone else at that time incriminated successively, and later collectively, the speed with which the infusion was given (too slowly or too rapidly), the temperature of the saline (too hot or too cold), contaminated distilled water and so on. It, therefore, became the rule for a house surgeon to prepare the infusion himself with fresh doubly-distilled water, and

Volunteers infected with Salmonella typhosa develop a remarkable hyperreactivity to the pyrogenic and subjective toxic activities of homologous (S. typhos) and heterologous (Pseudomonas) endotoxins. The present studies quantitate this augmented reactivity and demonstrate by three differing approaches that significant tolerance to these endotoxins can be readily induced within the framework of t...
