WHOLE BLOOD AMINO ACID CHANGES FOLLOWING RESPIRATORY-ACQUIRED PASTEURELLA TULARENSIS INFECTION IN MAN
Abstract
Significant changes in the whole blood amino acids of volunteers with respiratory-acquired Pasteurella tularensis (SCHU-S4) infection have been described. A decrease in whole blood amino acids occurred 12 to 60 hours after exposure and prior to the time that clinical symptomatology was apparent. The factors responsible for this decreased amino acid concentration were discussed but remain undefined. These changes were specifically related to infection, in that sham-exposed and similarly treated subjects did not manifest a similar response. The pattern of response was such that, in retrospect, it appeared to have predictive value for determining which subjects had been infected.
