Histology and Morbid Anatomy.—The “ tubercle ” produced by the tubercle bacillus is not in ap- pearance peculiar to tuberculosis; the actino]n}'ces and strongylus parasites produce very similar growths. Newman’s account of the formation of the tuber- cule has already been given on page 10. Baumgarten describes the process as follows :— There is a multiplication of fixed cells, more particularly those of connective tissue and the endothelium of the capillaries; and from them poly- gonal rounded bodies with nuclei are produced, and described as epithelioid cells. From the vessels of the focus of infection, leucocytes, both polynuclear and mononuclear, are given forth. The polynuclear are rapidly destroyed, the mononuclear more slowly disintegrate.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21988614_0042.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
