Studies on the effect of systemic administration of sensitizers in guinea-pigs with contact sensitivity to inorganic metal compounds. II. The flare-up of previous test sites of contact sensitivity and the development of a generalized rash.

Abstract

The intravenous injection of K2Cr2O7 produces a specific flare-up of old sites of contact sensitivity to K2Cr2O7 and, in very highly sensitive animals, there is also a generalized rash all over the body. A similar specific flare-up of old contact sensitivity site to BeF2 can be produced by the intravenous injection of Be lactate.
