Excellent results were obtained by the use of pyrlfer in classic 

 tabes, with lightning pains, gastric crises and "girdle pain". 

 It was less effective when ataxic complications were present 

 (5 of 13 patients improved). The improvement of psychic symptoms 

 in tabes is most spectacular. In one instance, improvement was 

 seen in sexual impotency. The authors review the literature 

 on the use of pyrifer. They find 8? per cent of tabetic patients 

 exhibited improvement, while in paralysis, 45 per cent in a 

 large group (104 persons) were benefited.

Uber das qualitative und quantitative (reaktive) Verhalten der 

 Leukocyten bei der Piebertherapie mit Neosaprovitan B (Quali- 

 tative and quantitative proportions of leukocytes in Neosaprovi- 

 tan B fever therapy) 



Ztschr, f, ges. Exper. Med „ 77:641-688, I931 



Neosaprovitan B, a vaccine prepared from saprophytic organisms, 

 exerts a profound effect upon blood-forming organs through the 

 mediation of the vegetative nervous system. Leukocytosis appears 

 early, while lymphocytes increase within 24 hours after in- 

 jection. Suggestions are made for its application to tabes dor- 

 salis and multiple sclerosis therapy.

A preparation which contained the endotoxins of histolytlc bacillj, 

 produced fever in rabbits upon intravenous injection. When acld- 

 , osis or alkalosis appeared during pyrogenlc fever, the production 

 of agglutinins was unchanged*
