ALLERGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS: A HYPERACUTE FORM.

The hyperacute form of allergic encephalomyelitis is characterized by its short incubation period, 100 percent incidence, overwhelming severity, and high mortality and by the massive quantities of polymorphonuclear neutrophils, fibrin, and edema fluid which infiltrate the central nervous system. The hyperacute form has been produced with the aid of aqueous pertussis vaccine as an adjuvant. This is the first reproducible laboratory model for human acute necrotizing hemorrhagic encephalopathy.

Allergic encephalomyelitis: rapid induction without the aid of adjuvants.

Rapid production of allergic encephalomyelitis has heretofore required injection of nervous tissue emulsified in immunologic adjuvants. Adjuvants are not required if large doses of a potent nervous-tissue anttigen and a highly susceptible strain of rats are used. Susceptibility was increased in animals inoculated beforehand with pertussis vaccine.
