A case of moderate severity, with well-developed vesicles and
characteristic grouping of lesions upon the face. [P.]
V. Variola Vesiculosa.
Fig. 1 shows a mixed eruption of papules and vesicles upon the
right thigh. (Third day.) This condition is exceptional in Variola,
though quite common in Varicella. [F.] Fig. 2 shows well developed
umbilicated vesicles upon the forearm. (Fifth day.) [H.] Fig. 3
shows a hemorrhagic effusion into the vesicles on the thigh and
leg, a condition far less serious than the purpuric eruption of
malignant variola. [P.]
VI. VARIOLA SEMI-CONFLUENS. (Fifth Day, Sixth Day.)
These illustrations show a partly confluent character which the
eruption frequently presents, even in mild cases, and especially
upon the legs. The influence of pressure in developing a more
profuse eruption may be noted above the ankles, where shoes were
laced, and below the knees, where garters were worn. [F.]
VII. VARIOLA CONFLUENS. (Seventh Day, Eighth Day.)
Fig. 1 shows umbilicated pustules with an intense œdema of the
foot, considerably increasing its size and causing much pain.
Fig. 2 shows the epidermis raised in a large, irregular patch by
the confluence of pustules. [F.]
VIII. Variola Pustulosa. (Ninth Day.)
Fig. 1 shows an eruption discrete upon the trunk and even upon the
hand, while confluent upon the forearm. [H.] Fig. 2 shows a vaccine
pustule coexisting with variolous pustules. The vaccination took
place before the disease began, but too late to exert a decided
prophylactic effect. [P.] Fig. 3 shows an eruption of large,
flaccid pustules with swelling of the foot. [P.] Fig. 4 shows an
eruption of discrete, tense, hemispherical pustules. [F.]
IX. VARIOLA DISCRETA. (Ninth Day.)
A typical case of mild smallpox occurring after vaccination and
sometimes called Variola modificata or Varioloid. [P.]
X. VARIOLA PUSTULOSA. (Tenth Day.)
A severe case, showing the characteristic aggregation of lesions on
the face and extremities. [P.]
XI. VARIOLA PUSTULOSA. (Ninth Day, Tenth Day, Eleventh Day.)
These illustrations show the pustular lesions in the stages of
complete distention, when they present a rounded appearance, and
of incipient desiccation, when they appear flattened and with a
central depression or “secondary umbilication.” [P., F., F.]
XII. Variola Pustulosa et Crustosa. (Tenth Day, Twelfth Day.)
In Fig. 1 an occlusion of the nasal passages is indicated by the
lips parted in respiration. [P.] Fig. 2. shows a palmar condition
which, in the adult, is found only in smallpox. [P.] Fig. 3 shows
the desiccation of the facial eruption in advance of other regions.
[P.] Fig. 4 shows a mild discrete case in which a diagnosis of
acne had been made. [F.] Fig. 5 shows the eruption in the stage of
desiccation. [F.]
XIII. VARIOLA CRUSTOSA. (Eighteenth Day.)
