Lesions of the intestinal tract occurred as follows in seven cases : 

 Ulceration of the upper part of the jejenum, one case, one of the ulcers 

 having perforated ; of the ileum alone, one ; of the colon alone, two cases ; 

 of both ileum and colon, two. A general tuberculosis of the peritoneum 

 was found in seven cases, in but one of which was there involvement of 

 the intestinal mucosa. 



Of other organs involved, the spleen contained foci in two, the 

 vertebrae in two, and the bladder in two cases. 



Against the thirty-four cases of active tuberculosis, healed tuberculous 

 lesions were found in but eight of the one hundred bodies.
