title: Quantitative determination of the disintegration of nerve cells in the cortex caused by viral encephalitis (17 D-yellow fever) (Preliminary communication).
abstract: The counting of nerve cells give an answer to the question whether there is a significant loss of cells in the cortex in the course of viral encephalitis. For normal animals, average cell numbers of 275.42 were counted; for infected animals divided into two groups depending on the severity of illness, 144.95 and 192.87 cells, respectively (p = 0.0001).
