Study of the Cause of Sudden Death Following the Injection of Horse Serum (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Study of the Cause of Sudden Death Following the Injection of Horse Serum
It has long been known that the blood of certain animals -is poisonous when transfused or injected into certain other species.
Many instances might be cited showing that the blood serum of one animal has poisonous properties when injected into an animal of another species. But the blood serum of the horse apparently lacks such poisonous action. Very large quantities of the blood serum of the horse may be injected into man, rabbits, guinea pigs, and many other animals Without serious inconvenience, except occasionally a slight reaction at the site of inoculation.
In a certain proportion of cases the injection of horse serum into man is followed by urticaria] eruptions, joint pains, fever, swelling of the lymph nodes, edema, and albuminuria. This reaction, which appears after an incubation period of eight to thirteen days, has been termed by Pirquet and Schick the serum disease.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers fascinating insights into a newly discovered phenomenon: the development of a fatal allergy to horse serum in guinea pigs following exposure. The author's controlled experiments demonstrate how prior sensitization with horse serum triggers a severe reaction leading to sudden death, a previously unknown effect. The author reveals how the toxic principle responsible for this reaction acts on the respiratory center, and presents an in-depth analysis of factors mediating its poisonous action. This groundbreaking work not only sheds light on the complexities of anaphylaxis, but also contributes significantly to our understanding of immune mechanisms. By examining the variable effects of blood serum from different animal species, the author unravels the intricate relationship between the toxic and hemolytic properties of blood serum, drawing attention to the existence of a deadly poison independent of any hemolytic action. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527751309_0
