Effect of reticuloendothelial blockade on immunity to the 

 Shwartzman phenomenon 



Proc. Soc. Exper, Biol, Med. 64:145-149, 194? 



When Thorotrast injections followed typhoid vaccine, rabbits 

 naturally immune (or rendered immune through previously invoked 

 Shwartzman reactions) developed areas of hemorrhagic necrosis, 

 and the toxic effects of the vaccine were enhanced,

Fever therapy in herpes zoster 



J. Labo & Clin, Med. 32:1544, 194? 



Mixed typhoid vaccine injected intravenously brought prompt 

 relief from true herpes zoster. There was an early disappear- 

 ance of pain,

Le probleme des pyrogenes . Son etat actuel (Problem of the 

 pyrogens. Actual state) 



Rev, d'Heat. 2:234-240, 194? 



The chemical structure of the pyrogens has not yet been fully 

 explained. Carbohydrates are present in relatively large amounts 

 but the nitrogen content is negligible. Polysaccharides are pre- 

 sent. The pattern of molecular form should be studied further. 



Methods of testing for pyrogenic contaminants and the role of 

 equipment (glass and tubing) in harboring pyrogen-producing 

 bacteria are discussed. In transfusion of blood or infusion of 

 fluids, the rate of infusion may, if accelerated, produce dan- 

 gerous pyrogenic reactions when contaminants are present in 

 stored blood or solutions.

Experimental study of purpuric meningococcemla in relation to the 

 Shwartzman phenomenon 



Arch. Path, 43:28-54, 194? 



Twice-washed meningococci, living or dead, possess preparatory 

 and provocatory substances with ability to induce the Shwartzman 

 phenomenon. The toxic materials were present in small amounts 

 only in the washings. Potency was highest in strains producing
