Weight loss, total and differential leucocytic counts in mice treated with alcohol during Ancylostoma caninum infection.

Abstract

Females of Swiss albino mice were treated with various doses of alcohol and Ancylostoma caninum larvae. Mice which received 40% alcohol for 20 days showed a significant decrease in body weight and in the number of leucocytes. Eosinophilia was also observed in mice which were treated with 40% alcohol for 20 days.
