Excerpt from The Animal Tuberculoses, and Their Relation to Human Tuberculosis
Although all tuberculous lesions acknowledge the presence of the causal agent - the bacillus of Koch nothing is more variable than their appearance. Some times they take the form of rounded granulations, hardly as big as a millet-seed, invading all the organs. Some times they are great ¿uctuating masses, filled with yellow pus, which is thick, grumous, full of calcareous grains, and resembles mortar. Sometimes the pleura or peri toneum are covered with hard, glistening, grayish-red, rounded new growths, with more or less long pedicles, and generally heaped together in clusters of variable size, so as to form genuine polypi, which sometime attain considerable dimensions. Sometimes, again, the lesion consists of an opaque grayish or yellowish matter infil trating the tissues.
