EXPERIMENTAL KEROSENE PNEUMONITIS IN PRIMATES: RELEVANCE TO THE THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF CHILDHOOD POISONING

1. Fifteen baboons were utilized to investigate whether secondary bacterial invasion followed experimentally‐induced kerosene pneumonia. They were divided into two groups and used as their own controls, following intratracheal injection of either normal saline or kerosene (0·3 ml/kg).
