Abstinence from food or exces- sive exercise did not appear to have any immediate effect in the production of a lowered index. B. In Disease. 1. In Tubercular Infections. — ^Wright, in his earlier experiments upon localized tubercular infections, found a general lowering of the opsonic index below unity. In a series of seventeen cases, exclusive of pulmonary phthisis, he found variations from 0*4 to 0*86, with an average for the seventeen of 0*64. BuUoch investigated the indices of 160 sufferer...s from lupus in all stages, from very mild cases to old intractable ones of even forty years' standing. Seventy-five per cent, of the cases had indices below 0*8, while the average for the 160 cases was 0*76, distributed as follows : TABLE IX Opsonic , Index. Number of Cases. Percentage.
