Effect of polymyxin-sulphate preincubation on endotoxin recovery in the endotoxin
activity assay. Samples from 15 intensive care unit patients with endotoxaemia ranging
from 50 to more than 800 pg/ml were pretreated with polymyxin-sulphate at a concentration
of 300 g/ml for 20 min at 37°C. Endotoxin concentrations are expressed as means ±
standard deviation.
