                      @cal laboratory findings might include aneniia (due to intravascular hemolysis),

               thrombocytopenia, elevated serum transaminases, and hypo@.


                      I Differential Dias!nosis

                      Pulmonary signs might lead to confusion with SEB inid0y. liver damage, hemolytic

               anemia, and thrombocytopenia are not associated with SEB, and the pulmonary findings


               sould be reversible in SEB.


                      3, SMdfic Laboratory Diagnosis


                      Acute senim and tissue samples should be collected and rapidly bwsported to a

               reference laboratory. Specific immunoassays are available; however, their util ity in


               diagnosis of human disease is unproven.


                      The enterotoxin can be detected in fecal samples from human food-poisoning cases,


               and bacteria are readily cultured from clinical samples.





                      C. THERAPY


                      No specific treatment is available for C, DcrfrinLens intoxication. Humans with


               enteritis necroticans have been treated with antitoxin with some success.
