Book Description

Excerpt from North Carolina Medical Journal, Vol. 40: July 5, 1897 In the experiments of Chantemesse and Widal the symptoms following the injection of virulent cultures into guinea pigs, were brie y as follows: Very shortly after the inoculation there is a rise of temperature, which continues from one to four hours, and is succeeded by a depression, which continues to the fatal issue. Meteorism and great tenderness of the abdo men are observed. From a private letter received from Dr. P. H. Hiss, Assist ant Bacteriologist of the Health Department of New York City, Itake the following: Animals do not show typical typhoid symptoms, or lesions, from subcutaneous or infra-peritoneal inoculations of either living or dead cultures. The principal symptom from a non-fatal subcutaneous inoculation in animals under our observation is a varying rise of temperature, sub siding within a day or two. In man, I believe only dead cultures have been inoculated. No typical symptoms of typhoid fever were given, i. E., no typical course.
