The use of fever therapy in the treatment of the common leukemias 

 Clinics 4:81-36, I945 



The employment of typhoid vaccine to invoke fever appears to 

 enhance the effectiveness of irradiation of the spleen, lymph 

 nodes and long bones in treating leukemia. During the febrile 

 period, a restoration of susceptibility to X-rays Is noted 

 in patients who have become roentgen-resistant through long- 

 continued treatment. Colchicine also increases the effective- 

 ness of X-ray treatment.

Transfusion of blood conditioned by the addition of blood 

 group specific substances. Further clinical investigations 



J. A.M. A. 128:1901-1093, 1945 



In 1830 blood transfusions of homologous blood compared with 389 

 transfusions of blood with added group A and^B specific 

 substances, 6.5 per cent of reactions followed transfusion of 

 homologous blood. Of these, 4.4 per cent were pyrogenic reactions 

 With 'conditioned' blood, reactions occurred in 4.9 per cent 

 of transfusions; again, the majority were caused by pyrogens.

Anaphylactoid (Sanarelli-Shwartzman) reaction following thera- 

 peutic anti-typhoid injections 



U. S. Naval Med. Bull. 45:1104-1110, 1945 



In a subject, for whom non-specific therapy had been prescribed, 

 the second intravenous injection of typhoid vaccine proved fatal. 

 Autopsy findings revealed generalized petechiae and ecchymoses 

 through the parenchyma and brain; there was massive hepatic 

 and renal necrosis. The cause of death was believed to be a 

 generalized anaphylactoid reaction, which can be avoided through 

 allowing a lapse of 48 hours between injections of vaccine.
