The susceptibility of pertussis-sensitized mice to fatal shock varies with each peptone preparation. The peptone containing the greatest amount of histamine produced the highest mortality rate.

The mechanism of death is probably neither the exogenous histamine administered nor the histamine or serotonin engendered but a combination of these and other factors, still unknown.
