Albany Medical Annals PDF Download

Excerpt from Albany Medical Annals, 1917, Vol. 38: Journal of the Alumni Association of the Albany Medical College In monkeys that have been inoculated and have not yet devel Oped paralysis, it is claimed that the induction of the serum of recovered cases inhibits further development of the disease, and paralysis is less apt to appear, or is less marked. Finally, it is claimed that the introduction of the Serum from recovered cases even after paralysis has developed in monkeys, seemingly lessens the progress of further paralysis. It is chiefly on this data that the use of serum in human cases is based. Consequently, it is quite impossible at the present time to cor relate the results that have been obtained so as to draw any very definite conclusions regarding the practical value of the treatment. To what extent normal serum from resistant animals may be substituted, and what rational interpretation of the action of such serum may be made, depends entirely upon the results of future research.
