Summary

It was experimentally demonstrated that cholinesterase activity increases in the gray matter of the cerebral hemispheres in tetanus and dysentery intoxications. However, there is no change in its activity in pneumococcal mococcal intoxication. The activity of the enzyme does not change in the cerebellum in tetanus and dysentery intoxications. The increase in activity of cholinesterase in all the above cases is proved statiscally.
