Abstract
Pathological abnormalities of the infant mouse small intestines were evident after V.cholerae El Tor, Ogawa, infection. These were revealed by an enteritis manifested by mononuclear cells containing inflammatory exudate, intervillous blood capillary congestion, marked increase in goblet cells, desquamation of epithelium and diapedesis of cells. Mice received V.cholerae pretreated with high concentration of antihemolysin, though developed diarrhea, had marked decrease in pathological severity. The less amount of the antibodies the more pathological changes were found.
