Preparation of safe intravenous solutions 



Surg., Gynec, & Obsto 63:643-646, 1936 



Pyrogenic bacterial substances are the chief offenders in pro- 

 ducing the reactions noted after intravenous therapy. Proper 

 preparation of solutions and careful cleaning of transfusion 

 or infusion equipment eliminates many of the hazards attending 

 parenteral therapy.

Hemorrhagic necrotic skin lesions in rabbits produced by Hemo - 

 philus influenzae and Hemophilus pertussis 



Proc. Soc. Exper, Biol. Med. 34:351, 1936 



Skin areas of the rabbit, prepared with intradermal injections 

 of living H, influenzae 24 hours before the intravenous injec- 

 tion of the same suspension or E. typhosa agar washings filtrate, 

 responded with hemorrhage and necrosis within 3 to 6 hours. 

 The response to intravenous H, influenzae exceeded the one noted 

 after injection of H, pertussis . Sites prepared with H, per - 

 tussis were unchanged by intravenous challenging doses. Heat 

 killed H, influenzae were likewise effective in producing hemorr- 

 hagic necrosiL in sites previously prepared by the intradermal 

 injection of the same organism or E. typhosa ' agar-washing' f il- 

 trate.

Studies on the somatic C polysaccharide of Pneumococcus . I, 

 Cutaneous and serological reactions in pneumonia 



J. Exper, Med. 65:59-74, I937 



The intracutaneous Injection of pneumococcal somatic polysac- 

 charide produced a characteristic skin response in patients ill 

 with pneumococcal lobar pneumonia , Certain patients ill with 

 non-pneumococcic febrile diseases gave similar responses. The 

 response was not present during convalescence. No skin reaction 

 could be obtained in 7 fatal cases.
