History
Epidemic Respiratory Disease: The pneumonias and other infections of the repiratory tract accompanying influenza and measles
The interstitial tissue surrounding consolidated lobules is often
edematous; the lymphatics are distended with serum and contain a
moderate number of lymphocytes and polynuclear leucocytes.
Among the lungs which have been studied histologically, pneumococcus has
been almost invariably associated with the lobular lesions which have
just been described, whether hemorrhagic, leucocytic or fibrinous; the
histologic changes accompanying infection of the lung with streptococcus
will be described later. Pneumococcus has been cultivated from the
consolidated lung and is found in section of the lung. B. influenzæ is
found in cultures made from the bronchi. Table XXXVIII includes those
instances in which the histology of the consolidated lung accords with
the description given above.
