ACTINOMYCOSIS 



In a case of actinomycosis of the jaw in a cow, Dimock and 

 Thompson found 5,443,000 red corpuscles, 58% Hb. and 7,222 

 leucocytes. Of the leucocytes there were 43.6% lymphocytes, 

 0.36% large mononuclears, 53.1% polymorphs, 2.27% eosins, 

 and 0.54% mast cells. Ewing found 21,500 leucocytes in a case 

 of pulmonary actinomycosis in man. Bierfreund found marked 

 anemia of chlorotic type with 30-50% hemoglobin in man. Cabot 

 examined the blood of four cases in man and obtained the following 

 counts of leucocytes:
