title: [Biochemical changes in the blood of sheep with experimental Corynebacterium infection].
abstract: Investigations were carried out with 24 sheep divided into two groups of twelve animals. The first group were infected via the lateral recessus of the tarsal joint with 2 cm3 of a 24-hour broth culture of Corynebacterium pyogenes, and the second one were infected i/v with 3 cm3 of the same culture. The changes in the total protein, protein fractions, and blood electrolites in the blood were followed up. It was found that the infection of Corynebacterium pyogenes affected the total reactivation of the animals and led to immunobiologic reconstruction changes. There were hyperproteinemia which depended on the route of infection as well as the severity of its course, and hyperglobulinemia which was "at the expense of' blood albumin. Noticed were also hypercalcemia, hyperpotassemia, and lower sodium and phosphorus levels.
