CHOLERA AND THE SODIUM PUMP

Abstract

Data are presented showing the unique action of Vibrio cholera and/or its products on the sodium transport mechanism of the isolated frog skin. Some notions based on the Na/K pump theory of Koefoed-Johnsen and Ussing are evolved to explain the results. These notions and some of their consequences are discussed in relation to the clinical pathology of cholera as reported in the literature. (Author)
