               Toxin is cleared from the serum rapidly and cannot be detected by the
         time of symptom onset. Most patients develop a significant antibody response,
         but this may require 2-4 weeks.

               IV THERAPY

               Treatment is limited to supportive care.
               V PROPHYLAXIS

               There currently is no prophylaxis for SEB intoxication. Experimental
         immunization has protected monkeys, but no immunogens are presently

         available.
