The adrenocortical reserve function of 20 cases of paediatric cholera was studied by intravenous ACTH tests. The findings indicate the presence of adrenocortical hyperactivity, and the poor response to ACTH stimulation shows that the adrenocortical reserve in these cases had been already stimulated to the maximum extent by salt depletion at the time of admission. These findings do not support the value of adrenocortical hormone treatment in cholera.
通过静脉注射促肾上腺皮质激素试验研究了20例小儿霍乱患者的肾上腺皮质储备功能。研究结果表明存在肾上腺皮质功能亢进,对促肾上腺皮质激素刺激反应不佳表明,这些病例在入院时肾上腺皮质储备已因缺盐而受到最大程度的刺激。这些结果不支持在霍乱治疗中使用肾上腺皮质激素。
