Ludwig Letzench41 asserts that he has produced some of the intestinal appearances of typhoid fever, as well as a high degree of pyrexia, in rabbits by the subcutaneous injection of the sputa and stools of typhoid fever patients.

These changes are usually proportional to the degree of pyrexia which has been present during life.
