Associated Leukocyte Responses in the Lethal Aspects of 'E. coli' Shock.

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to explore the responses of canine blood to the separate effects of E. coli organisms and E. coli endotoxin, particularly emphasizing the role of the WBC in the uptake of glucose in vitro and its possible relationship to survival in vivo. Results of this study suggest a relationship between leukocytosis and survivability in septic shock, lending support to the view that increased numbers of white blood cells by way of transfusion may augment the degree of protection.
