Occasionally we met with small hemorrhages lying in the upper layers of the subcutaneous tissue. These lesions were small and could not be seen from the external surface. Nevertheless, some of them seemed to have occurred in direct contact with the deep cutis and surrounded portions of the deep skin appendages. From an examination of our cases there was no reason at the time of autopsy to lay any particular stress upon the occurrence of these hemorrhages. Subsequently, it has come to mind, and since learning of the unusual frequency of boils and deep pustules making their appearance as post-influenzal sequelæ, that these minute lesions may have a bearing upon the localization of infection in the skin tissues. We must appreciate, of course, that other factors of a constitutional nature probably render the individual more susceptible to the invasion of the staphylococcus, and that such factors are all-important in allowing this organism to gain a foothold. Whether the decreased sugar-tolerance with hyperglycemia, which has been observed in the late stages of influenza, bears a relation to the increased susceptibility, as appears to be the case in diabetes mellitus, is an interesting point for further investigation. Other constitutional states are also undoubtedly involved in the increased susceptibility to the infection which the patient suffers. Elsewhere (Dr. Holman) it is shown that the natural complement content is considerably depressed during the height of the influenza. With such factors present and with the available infecting micro-organisms, it is possible that the minute deep skin hemorrhages bear a relation to the immediate localization of the infection.
