GLANDERS 121 
Infiltrated glanders of the lungs forms tumors from the size of a 
walnut to that of a child’s head, consisting of a diffuse glanderous 
infiltration of the alveoli and of the interstitial connective tissue. 
Frequently on section the infiltrated parts of the lungs resemble very 
closely a soft sarcoma. They are of a dirty white color, of a gelatin- 
ous, juicy consistency and irregular in shape. They may either 
become indurated so as to form hard, connective tissue-like new 
growths (fibroma-like tumors of glanders, according to Gerlach), 
or they may become gangrenous. At times there appear masses of 
connective tissue of varying size at the borders of which glanders 
bacteria are found. In nodular and in infiltrated glanders of the 
lungs, the bronchial glands and frequently the mediastinal glands 
become enlarged, indurated and studded with smal! foci of cell 
infiltration. 
In glanders of the skin (farcy) the nodules are found in the papillary 
layer, in the cutis and in the subcutaneous and superficial intermuscu- 
lar tissue. The cutaneous a 
nodules vary in size from a 
hemp seed up toa pea. They 
suppurate rapidly and form 
small ulcers. The nodules in 
the subcutis are inflammatory 
(metastatic) tumors from the 
size of a pea to that of a hen’s 
egg. They change into large 
abscesses and discharge ex- 
ternally. In the region of the 
nodules the lymphatic vessels 
are inflamed, swollen, and fre- 
quently resemble a rosary or 
knotted cord. Ulcers often 
develop from these secondary 
nodes. The neighboring 
lymph glands are at first 
swollen and soft, but later : 
they become indurated by the Fic. 19. Smcrion oF A GLANDERS
