Synopsis

Excerpt from A Reference Handbook of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 3: Embracing the Entire Range of Scientific and Practical Medicine and Allied Science; Illustrated by Chromolithographs and Six Hundred and Seventy-Six Half-Tone and Wood Engravings

At'rorsv. - Ia acute cases the sepia color of the blood and many organs and the presence of methaemoglobin are the characteristic features. In subacute cases the characteristic color is rarely present; but here we find depositions of broken-down red blood corpuscles in the bone marrow, spleen, and liver; the latter two organs are enlarged. The kidneys, too, are usually swollen, the tubules are filled up with the débris of the red blood cells, the epithelia are in a state of cloudy swelling, which is, however, according to Marchand, of a second ary nature and due only to the pressure of the plugs. Thrombi were not found in any part of the body. The mucous membrane of the gastro-intestinal canal is often found to be swollen and ecchymotic.
