Resumo
The authors described the experiments with Penicillin Merck-Sodium Salt n. 135 in order to verify the curative action on the experimental disesase of the guineapig. I - They found that small doses, of 1,600 units, Oxford, when inoculated during the first 24 or 48 hours of the appearance of the feverish reaction are impotent to modify the course of the disease, whether in the thermic curve, or the testicular or esplenomegalic manifestations. II - Penicillin, when used in larger doses, from 25,000 to 30,000 units, Oxford, in 24 hours through peritonial cavity is capable of normalising the temperature, modifying to a certain degree the virulence of the virus in guinea-pigs. III - In large doses, even when injected later, it causes the temperature to fall, in all animals, attenuating the viceral manifestations. IV - Direct contact of Penicillin with the virus, during many hours, cause it to loose its virulence.
