“An experimental study of the eosinophile cells during infection with an animal parasite — Trichina spiralis”

Abstract

The administration of Trichina spiralis to the guineapig causes an increase of the eosinophile leukocytes in the blood, comparable to that which accompanies human infection. There is no constant alteration of the number of these cells until the end of the second week after infection, when the relative and absolute number rapidly increases and reaches a maximum at the end of the third week.
