=Kidneys.=--Here again, congestion and hemorrhage are the two lesions most commonly found. The kidneys also may show any of the forms of nephropathy ordinarily recognized, but these must be regarded as complicating conditions and not a part of the true scurvy. Small hemorrhages may be found in the uterus, bladder or urethra. They are especially common in the bladder, both in man and in the guinea-pig, and in some instances may be the cause of the hæmaturia noted during life. =Lymph-nodes.=--General enlargement of the lymph-nodes has been described, but occurs probably only in advanced cases where a general infection has been superadded. As a rule the enlargement is confined to nodes draining areas where hemorrhage has occurred. On section these nodes are reddish or brownish as the result of the pigment which they contain, the "black and red spots of different sizes" mentioned by Lind. Following infection they may become purulent, resulting in the inguinal buboes so frequently mentioned by the older authors,[31] or in the purulent mesenteric nodes associated with intestinal ulceration. [31] Lind writes: "In the months of July and August I opened near seventy large swellings in the groin, proceeding entirely from scurvy." ... "We found the glands under their arm-pits much enlarged and surrounded with purulent matter, as well as the muscles of their arms and thighs." ... "The glands of the mesentery are generally obstructed and swelled. Some of these were found partly corrupted and imposthumated." =Organs of Internal Secretion.=--Until recently these organs have received but little attention. It is probable, however, that in the near future they will be the object of close study and that new information will be acquired as to their condition in this disorder. Hemorrhages are commonly seen in the adrenals, enlarging them greatly and giving them a deep red color; the hemorrhage generally involves mainly the medullary portion.[32] It is probable that careful scrutiny will disclose hemorrhages in the other glands of internal secretion. The question of the involvement of these glands will be again considered under the microscopic anatomy, and has been taken up from a functional standpoint in treating of the possible indirect action of the vitamines. [32] In view of the report of Hart and Lessing of calcium deposits in the adrenal glands of monkeys suffering from scurvy, special attention should be given to this point in necropsies on human beings.
