AbstractThis prospective randomized study demonstrated that a preoperative intravenous infusion of 10 mg of the bacterial preparation Propionibacterium avidum KP-40 to patients with gastrointestinal tumors significantly (P less than 0.001) enhanced the secretion of neopterin, measurable as long-lasting (greater than 16 days) elevated urine excretion. Postoperative re-infusion of P. avidum KP-40 caused (statistically significant (p less than 0.001] re-enhancement of neopterin urine levels.
