A comparative study was undertaken concerning the influence of the injection of the various autonomic-nerve toxins upon the cutaneous temperature of healthy persons and tuberculous patients (clinically light cases).
The results are as follows.
1) The injection of adrenalin caused an elevation of the cutaneous temperature on both groups: in the healthy persons group, the average rise being 0.4°C while in tuberculous it was 0.38.
2) No significant changes were observed in either group by pilocarpine administration.
3) The injection of atropine resulted in an elevation of cutaneous temperature on both groups. However, the rise of temperature was generally more marked in the tuberculous patients.
