Winternitz, M. C. (Milton C.)
Influenza
(A) Lesions of the Hematopoietic System.
(B) Lesions of the Vascular System, Parenchymatous Organs,
Alimentary Tract, and in the Walls of Other Hollow Viscera.
(C) Miscellaneous Lesions.
IV. Comparison between the Respiratory Lesions of Influenza and
those Initiated by the Inhalation of Poisonous Gases with Special
Reference to:—
(A) The Inflammatory Response versus the Systemic Capacity to
Compensate.
(B) The Primary Injury.
(C) The Tendency to Organization of Bronchiolar and Alveolar
Exudates with Bronchiolitis and Bronchiolectasis as Sequelæ.
(D) The Importance of the Trachea and its Ramifications as a
Protective Mechanism against Infection of the Pulmonary
Parenchyma.
V. Peculiarities of the Histology of Influenzal Pneumonia.
(A) The Extent of the Initial Pulmonary Lesion.
(B) The Hemorrhagic Exudate—The Relation of Red to Grey
Hepatization.
(C) The Aplastic Exudate.
(D) The Hyaline Necrosis of the Pulmonary Tissue.
(E) The Organization Process.
VI. Infection as a Possible Etiological Factor for Malignant New
Growths.
VII. The Bacteriology of Influenzal Pneumonia.
(A) Organisms Associated with Influenzal Pneumonia.
(B) The Relation of the Type of Organism to Pleural Involvement.
(C) The Relation of Different Organisms to the Type of Pneumonia.
(D) Summary and Discussion.
VIII. Conclusions.
IX. Bibliography.
X. Illustrations.
[Illustration:
FIG. III. AUTOPSY NO. 90. DRAWING FROM A LESION OF THE TRACHEA
(SOMEWHAT OLDER THAN THAT ILLUSTRATED IN FIGURE II). THE MUCOSA IS
ENTIRELY LACKING. CONGESTION AND EDEMA ARE THE STRIKING FEATURES IN
THE SUBMUCOSA. THE NECROTIZING PROCESS HAS EXTENDED INTO THE MUCUS
GLANDS. THIS IS SHOWN IN THE LOWER PICTURE.

TRACHEA ILLUSTRATED IN FIGURE II. HERE IT IS SHOWN TO INVOLVE THE
WALL OF THE BRONCHIOLE.

CHARACTERIZED BY HYALINIZATION OF THE EPITHELIUM AND SEROUS EXUDATE
IN THE LUMEN.

[Illustration:
FIG. VI. AUTOPSY NO. 103. ILLUSTRATES ANOTHER EARLY BRONCHIOLAR
LESION. THE EPITHELIUM IS LACKING, THE CONGESTED VESSELS OF THE
SUBMUCOSA PROTRUDE INTO THE LUMEN WHICH CONTAINS DESQUAMATED
EPITHELIUM, MUCUS, AND RED BLOOD CELLS.
