Abstract

The potential value of human serum globulin for treatment of .patients with. t~e staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome was determined by measurIng the exfohau~ antitoxin content of globulin pools. Of 16 lots tested, only four had detectable antitoxin activity, and in these the levels were minimal. These findings suggest that pooled serum globulin is not a practical source of exfoliatin antitoxin.
