_Lesions._ _Acute_ and _rapidly fatal cases_ of swine plague furnish lesions indicative of a hæmorrhagic septicæmia. The abundance of petechiæ on the skin, mucosæ, serosæ, and tissues generally, with circumscribed hæmorrhages, congestions, inflammations and exudations, agree in the main with what is observed in the acute examples of hog cholera. If the congestive or inflammatory lesions, concentrate in the lungs rather than the bowels it assists in the diagnosis of swine plague. The swelling and blood engorgement of the lymph glands are nearly alike in the more acute types of the two diseases. The spleen is less constantly enlarged than in hog cholera or swine erysipelas. In the _subacute_ and _chronic forms_ the lesions may be almost entirely confined to the enlarged and congested or hæmorrhagic lymph glands. Usually, however, the lungs are the seat of lobular or lobar pneumonia, affecting by preference the lower portions of the anterior and median lobes, and sometimes also the posterior lobe. The pleuræ are often involved, showing arborescent congestion, thickening, exudate, false membranes and hydrothorax. The exudate may at times fill up the interlobular connective tissue, even before the pulmonary tissue is materially involved suggesting a local infection starting at the pleural surface. The hepatised lobule has a general red color varying in depth at different points, and showing lighter yellowish or grayish spots representing the purulent air sacs and terminal bronchia, and necrotic foci. On section the bronchia often yield pus, while the pulmonary tissue oozes a bloody liquid rich in small lymphoid cells. The liver and spleen may be all but normal, though in a number of cases they may be congested and softened. The stomach and bowels may be virtually sound, or they may show extensive congestion, petechiation and thickening of the mucosa at different points, with, in some cases ulcers, but these latter are mostly excavated and rarely assume the projecting, button-like, laminated form which is so characteristic of chronic hog cholera. Emaciation is a marked feature as in hog-cholera. _Symptoms._ In the most acute type these may not differ from those of similar cases of hog-cholera. If there has been any opportunity of estimating the incubation it will be found to have been shorter, the skin and mucosæ have a darker red blush, showing first on the ears, breast, belly and inner sides of the thighs and forearms, the lymph glands are enlarged, and there is cough and dyspnœa if the patient is roused to exertion. The presence of petechiæ on the skin and of a very high temperature (107° to 109°) is to be specially noted. There are great prostration and dulness, complete anorexia, hiding under the litter, indisposition to rise, often weakness, staggering, paresis or even paraplegia, somnolence, and death in coma or convulsions.
