EXTRACTS FROM FOREIGN JOURNALS. 
TWO CASES OF CONGENITAL TUBERCULOSIS IN CALVES. 
By Mess. Malvoz and Beouyoier. 
The well known case of Johne, of congenital tuberculosis, 
finds a second instance in the record of cases reported by the 
author in the Annates de Pasteur. 
Case i. —On the 25th of January they received from M. 
Lefevre, a veterinarian, the liver and lungs, with the lymphatic 
glands of an eight months fcetus found in the uterus of a cow 
that was affected with general tuberculosis. On the liver, 
near the portal fissure, were some diseased lymphatic glands. 
In the hepatic substance there were a few granulations, well 
defined, of a grayish-white color. At the hilus of the lungs, 
near the bifurcation of the trachea, were a few diseased lym- 
phatic glands also. The microscopic examination proved 
them to be of a true tuberculous nature, Koch’s bacilli being 
found in the giant cells, and in the texture of the granulation 
of the diseased structure. 
In the second case, the lesions were found in a calf six 
weeks old. They existed on the liver, and in its substance. 
The lymphatics were all hypertrophied, at the hilus of the 
lungs were also found packets of lymphatic glands, also 
diseased. Giant cells were numerous in these tubercular lesions 
and Koch’s bacilli were found both in the hepatic nodules and 
the lymphatic glands.— Annates de Pasteur.
