ent after the 3rd day that persisted until death. The antiferment 

 during this time progressively increased. This reaction curve of the 

 enzymes is characteristic for fatal pneumonias. 



The case illustrated by Figure 6 is perhaps the most interesting 

 in illustrating the relation of the ereptase titer to the clinical condition 

 of the patient.
