چکیده
Human convalescent whooping cough serum and whole blood injected intramuscularly have been tried and reported on favourably in whooping cough cases as a curative and prophylactic measure. Some workers claim good results from treatment with injection of maternal whole blood. The writer tried this latter method of treatment in a series of 76 cases, out of which 3 discontinued treatment and one died a day after the commencement of treatment. This report embodies the observations on the remaining 72 cases including controls. Most of the cases were treated as out-patients in 3 different hospitals. Some were treated at home in private practice. The early cases of this series came during the course of an epidemic, which was severe but limited and circumscribed.
