Note 4 — Chapter III · STRUCTURE OF THE LEPROMA.

Just as the manuscript of this treatise was completed, a year and a half ago, we obtained at an autopsy a lung in which there was tuberculosis, but at the same time probably leprosy also. Most unfortunately the bronchial glands were not preserved for microscopical examination. Dr. Lie also permits me to state that he has found leprosy bacilli in two kidneys and in one lung. He had diagnosed tuberculosis of the lung, but at the autopsy he found only an indurating pneumonia, containing lepra bacilli, and no tuberculosis. In the kidneys, of the same case, he found lepra bacilli in the glomeruli, and in the interstices between the cortical tubules. He will describe the case more fully later. This is a mere preliminary note.
