Summary
- 1. The blood sugar level of white rats infected with Plasmodium berghei decreased to 68 ± 6.5 mg. per cent from a normal value of 96 ± 3.7 mg. per cent when the parasitemia was 51 per cent and higher.
- 2. The glucose content of the packed cells remained fairly constant during the course of the infection although the values obtained were higher when compared with the normal content of 60 ± 3.5 mg. per cent. The level ranged from 72 ± 7.4 to 103 ± 7.7 mg. per cent.
- 3. The normal serum glucose showed a marked drop to 55 ± 4.9 mg. per cent from the normal level of 155 ± 4.9 mg. per cent when the parasitemia was 51 per cent and higher.
