Summary
1. Bilateral cortical necrosis of the kidneys was observed in rabbits which were treated with large doses of cortisone and then given a single intravenous injection of meningococcal or S. marcescens (P-25) toxin.

A similar renal lesion occurred in cortisone-treated Syrian Hamsters following an intraperitoneal injection of P-25 toxin.
