Abstract
Certain aspects of peripheral thyroid hormone physiology were measured sequentially in subjects exposed to Pasteurella tularensis or vaccinated with a living attenuated strain of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus. In both groups a significant rise in the per cent of unbound thyroxine (p per se, a concept of dynamic alterations in peripheral thyroid hormone physiology during infection might serve to consolidate previous concepts derived from nonsequential observations.
