An Experimental Model of Calcareous Subdeltoid Bursitis Induced by Calciphylaxis By HANS SELYE, GIOVANNI GENTILE AND R E N ~ VEILLEUX A calcareous subdeltoid bursitis can be regularly produced in the rat through calciphylactic challenge by Thorotrast after sensitization with dihydrotachysterol (DHT). This form of calciphylaxis is described merely as an experimental model of the disease without implying that a calciphylactic mechanism is necessarily responsible for structurally comparable lesions in man. ' Fri-mflysis of subdeltoid bursitis with exact quantitative methods has been greHY&andicapped -r I by the fmpossibility of reproducing in experimental .
