The enhancement of infection with staphylococcus aureus in mice sensitized by bovine serum-pertussis mixtures

Staphylococcal Alpha‐antitoxin Levels in Patients With Allergic Respiratory Diseases During Autovaccine‐therapy

“…We chose this method because staphylococcus pyogenes aureus is very frequently present in the air-passages of allergic persons and at the same time most often causes increased skin-reactions (15,16,21). Other authors too have observed the reciprocal influence of the allergic disposition of patients and their susceptibility to carrying staphylococci (2,6,7,12,14,18,19,20,26,30).…”

“…With nort-all&rgic diseases such as chronic or recurrent suppuratlve inflammations, autovaccine is supposed to increase immunity. In the case of allergic diseases it is not yet known, whether the mechanism of its action is the same or whether desensitization is involved or perhaps a combination of both (4,8,9,13,14,26,28,30). A further question not yet solved is whether the vaccine leads to antibody-production or whether it merely stimulates a nonspecific defence-reaction (10,11).…”

Effect of Haemophilus Pertussis Vaccine on Human Beings

“…Recently it was claimed that the H. Pertussis vaccine also increased the serotonin sensitivity of mice {S,Q as well as their susceptibility to some infective diseases (7,8) butnot to adrenalin, metylcholin, carbainoilcholin or artificial heat (6).…”
