Abstract

Under the conditions of these expts., a marked degree of hyperestrinism exerted no detectable effect upon either native or acquired immunity to tuberculosis in the virgin o guinea pig. This suggested that some factor other than the premenstrual rise in estrogenic hormone was responsible for the premenstrual exacerbations of the disease that were described in tuberculous women.
