title: Effect of protein malnutrition on salmonellosis and fever.
abstract: Protein-malnourished rats had greater numbers of bacteria in their livers and spleens compared with numbers in control rats following a sublethal intraperitoneal dose of Salmonella typhimurium. However, the febrile responses of both groups of rats to infection were similar. The ability to mount a normal febrile response does not necessarily reflect the ability of the host to contain an infection.
