title: Slow virus kidney disease of mice.
abstract: Preliminary observations based on organ weight differential, renal function, and glomerular lesions in mice infected neonatally with lymphocytic choriomeningitis indicate the presence of a slow virus-induced kidney disease of mice. This condition is accompanied by a marked decrease in the size of the kidneys, with progressive diminution of renal function, as shown by measurements of creatinine and urea clearance.
