Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report (Reprinted Papers) Of the Investigations Carried Out Under the Supervision of the Therapeutic Research Committee of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association, Vol. 9 The object of this study is to throw additional light on the dangers of intravenous medication and the relationship of these to anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock by a detailed study of the effects of the intravenous administration of a variety of agents, principally colloids of non-protein origin. Before proceeding to the results of our experiments, a brief consideration of the fundamental aspects of the problem is desirable. The intravenous injection of certain agents such as serum, diphtheria antitoxin, foreign proteins and arsphenamin produce in some individuals disturbances which resemble the symptoms of anaphylactic shock. It is alleged that in these individuals a state of anaphylaxis exists or, at least, an unusual degree of sensitiveness, presumably the state of sensitization, although in many instances such individuals have not been previously treated with the agent.
