Transient Increase in Capillary Permeability Induced by Clostridium perfringens Type A Enterotoxin

Abstract
A transient increase in capillary permeability was induced in the skin of guinea pigs by Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin. Maximum intensity and maximum diameter of the area of increased capillary permeability were obtained with injection of enterotoxin 10 to 20 min before dye injection.
