Bacteremia
bacteremia
Ninety-eight percent (98 of 100) of the rabbits were bacteremic prior to infusion, and two rabbits from the control (IGIV) group were not bacteremic prior to treatment; these two animals were excluded from the analysis. The lone survivor in the control group was positive for bacteremia prior to the treatment. Median time to positive bacteremia, 24.3 h and 24.7 h for IGIV and ANTHRASIL-treated groups, respectively, was not significantly different between the treatment groups.At 24 h and Day 3 PoI, the proportion of bacteremic animals in the IGIV group (98% and 95%, respectively) was significantly greater (p = 0.0133 for 24 h PoI and 0.0004 for 3 days PoI) than that in the ANTHRASIL group (82% and 20% at those time points) (
