XII, B, 2 Mendoza-Guazon: Anatomicopathologic Lesions 



m 



intrauterine infection, although rare, has been established ac- 

 cording to Holt (27) by various authenticated cases and by the 

 work of Martha Wollstein(53) on tuberculosis of the placenta. 

 Holt mentions the case of a premature infant that lived twenty- 

 one days, born of a mother suffering with advanced tuberculosis, 

 whc at the autopsy showed tuberculosis of the endometrium. 



The number of cases in which the different organs and lym- 

 phatic glands were affected is shown in Table VI.

Lungs. Of the 58 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, both lungs 

 were involved in 42. The right was singly affected eleven times, 

 and the left was affected five times. 



The type of the lesions indicates a more diffuse and acute 

 process than in adults, and in some instances two or three dif- 

 ferent types were found. There were 23 cases that showed 

 acute miliary tuberculosis, 10 of which were associated with 

 cavities of the pneumonic type, 12 were lobar, and 7 were 

 lobular. 



Chronic type of lesions was found in 16 cases, although in 

 10 the condition was accompanied by ulcerative lesions. In 

 only one case have I seen calcification, which was that of a 

 girl 11 months old (autopsy 1431), who also had acute miliary 

 pulmonary tuberculosis and otitis media. 



Peribronchial lymphatic glands. If we follow Holt's (27) de- 

 scription, he divides these into three main groups: the first 

 are those that surround the trachea; the second, those situated 

 at the bifurcation of the trachea and surrounding the primary
