Studies on the Toxicity of Human Blood Plasma for Guinea-Pigs

III. The Toxicity of Human Blood Plasma in the Various Stages of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

From the Laboratory of the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, and the Department of Pathology and Physiological Chemistry, University of Illinois, College of Medicine, Chicago

Abstract

As a result of tabulating the findings in the various stages of activity, it appears that the suspension stability of the blood in pulmonary tuberculosis parallels the activity of the process.

With an increase in the pulse rate and temperature, there is also an increase in the sedimentation rate of erythrocytes.

The toxicity of the blood plasma in pulmonary tuberculosis is also increased for the guinea-pig. The pulse, temperature, suspension stability of erythrocytes, and toxicity of the blood plasma are parallel with each other.
