The Phenomenon of Anaphylaxis

Nature volume 92, pages iv–v (1914)Cite this article

Abstract

THIS translation of Prof. Richet's excellent little manual on anaphylaxis will be very welcome to English readers. In 1902 Richet and Portier found that previous injection produced increased sensitivity to the poison extracted from the tentacles of actinaria. This being the opposite to the immunity following successive injections of most toxins, which has been so much studied of recent years, Richet gave the name “Anaphylaxie” to the phenomenon.

Anaphylaxis.

By Prof. Charles Richet. Authorised translation by J. Murray Bligh. Pp. xii + 266. (Liverpool: The University Press; London: Constable and Co., Ltd., 1913.) Price 3s. 6d. net.
