LINGERING FORMS OF PLAGUE IN LABORATORY ANIMALS. REPORT 4. GENERALIZATION OF LINGERING FORMS OF PLAGUE FOLLOWING THE LOWERING OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE MACROORGANISM

Conclusions: Cortisone lowered the natural resistance of white rats and white mice to plague. The lowering of the infectious resistance in these species of animals may lead to a generalization of lingering forms of plague and to a lethal outcome with a high saturation of the blood with the causative agent.
