Pathology of the reticulo-endothelial apparatus

In our previous work "To the teaching of the functional diagnostics of the reticulo-endothelial apparatus" we, using Adler's and Reimann's methodology, established that determination of colloidal solutions excretion from human blood, producing intravital staining, gives an opportunity to judge about the function of the reticulo-endothelial apparatus. We made the following statements: 1) In healthy humans one hour after injecting into a vein 10 cc. 1% dye solution, 30% of it remains in the blood. 2) In infectious patients there is a delay of dye withdrawal from the blood depending upon the case gravity: a) at easy infections in an hour after dye injection into a vein 50% colloid remains in the blood plasma of patients, b) at severe infections in an hour after intravenous injection 70-80-100% of the dye remains. Retention of dye in the blood plasma is also observed in infected rabbits, as well as in white rats infected with Duttoni spirochaete. Subsequently, we continued our studies and became even more convinced of the correctness of our statements.
