“…With respect to infection by the salmonella, which are natural pathogens for mice, Stryker and Janeta (70) found no noteworthy difference in intestinal permeability to Salmonella enteritidis or of Clostridium botulinum toxin in rats deficient in vitamin A and control animals. Riboflavin deficient mice are much more highly susceptible to spontaneous salmonella infections than control animals according to Kligler, et al.…”

What is one man's meat is another man's poison" (1) is demonstrated daily in every medical clinic. Although clinical observations as well as general impressions suggest that optimum nutrition commonly aids resistance, our knowledge of nutrition is still too fragmentary to give an adequate statement of "optimum nutrition" for persons living under markedly diverse conditions "from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strand," and our knowledge of the factors involved in resistance seems even less complete. Even though we can suggest diets for various living conditions with a fair degree of success, the world is far from providing even an approximation of these diets to millions of the members of our family. Malthus is riding hard and fast with all four of the horsemen of the Apocalypse. It is recognized that what appears to be abundant health under apparently admirable living and dietary conditions, does not protect against the common diseases of childhood, measles, chickenpox, or mumps, nor against many diseases of adult life such as the common cold and influenza. Ill health and poor nutrition do, however, appear to increase the incidence of such diseases as rheumatic fever and tuberculosis. 1This review stems from a "Round Table" held at the annual meetings of the Society of American Bacteriologists at Minneapolis, May 1948. Cyrus P. Barnum, Jr. and David Glick, both of the Department of Physiological Chemistry of the University of Minnesota Medical School took part in the discussion but did not present papers and are not therefore involved in this review. Paul F. Clark was the convenor of the "Round Table" and has served as editor of these papers.

“…Since Green & Mellanby (1928 reported that vitamin A protected the body against infection, this problem has been studied by various authors (Verder, 1928;Lassen, 1930Lassen, , 1931Seidmon & Arnold, 1931-2;Boynton & Bradford, 1931;McClung & Winters, 1932;Stryker & Janota, 1941). In general, the results showed that A avitaminotic animals were more susceptible to spontaneous or experimental infections than controls kept on a normal diet.…”

Since Green & Mellanby (1928, 1930) reported that vitamin A protected the body against infection, this problem has been studied by various authors (Verder, 1928; Lassen, 1930, 1931; Seidmon & Arnold, 1931–2; Boynton & Bradford, 1931; McClung & Winters, 1932; Stryker & Janota, 1941). In general, the results showed that A avita-minotic animals were more susceptible to spontaneous or experimental infections than controls kept on a normal diet. However, in so far as we know, no experimental work has been done on the inverse problem—the effect of infection on vitamin A metabolism.
