چکیده
Ever since the discovery of the tubercle bacillus attempts have been made to determine the types of tubercle bacillus which produce lesions in man and other animals. Bovine strains of the bacillus have been isolated by Fraser (1912), Griffith, Munro (1930), Cumming, Blacklock, Wang and other workers in Great Britain in 27 to 70 per cent of human cases of osteo-articular and glandular tuberculosis, particularly in children. It has been encountered in 19 to 40 per cent of cases of cerebro-spinal meningitis examined by Blacklock, Griffith, Macgregor et al. (1934), Jensen (1932) and other workers. The incidence of the bovine type of bacillus isolated from extra-pulmonary lesions in the U.S.A. seems to be less (7.7 per cent according to Gosling and Mantoux) than in the -north-European countries. Recent work by Lange (1932), Munro (1930), (Cumming, Foster, Girdwood, and Griffith, 1933), Smith, Jensen (1932) and other workers indicates that

The blood supply of the lung in pulmonary tuberculosis.
Opinion appears to differ regarding the pathology of the vessels in lungs affected by miliary and chronic tuberculosis. Kaufmann (1929) emphasized obliterative changes in the pulmonary arteries. Boyd (1950) speaks of an endarteritis obliterans in vessels without specifying their origin. Cahnette (1923) mentioned the formation of small pedunculated, pear-shaped " aneurysms of Rasmussen " in bran...
متن کاملFate of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Mouse Tissues as Determined by the Microbial Enumeration Technique
Observations are presented on the behavior of populations of tubercle bacilli in the tissues of mice during the administration of antimicrobial drugs. The behavior of the populations during therapy with any particular drug was different depending upon whether the tubercle bacilli were subsisting in the lung or in the spleen. Moreover, the pattern of microbial behavior was distinctive and predic...

The Langhans’ giant cell described in 1868 is a large cell with numerous nuclei arranged in a ring around the periphery of an eosinophilic cytoplasm.1’ 2 The cytoplasm is homogeneous or granular and may contain inclusions such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The foreign body type giant cell can be distinguished by the presence of nuclei throughout the substance of the cytoplasm rather than at th...

The altered response to antituberculous agents of both the tubercle bacilli cultured from the sputum and from excised pulmonary lesions during and after therapy with these drugs has aroused the interest of the bacteriologist, the pathologist and the clinician. Therefore, many studies of this problem based upon clinical material subjected to wide varieties of drug-treatment regimens have been re...
