Synopsis

Excerpt from Lectures on the Comparative Pathology of Inflammation: Delivered at the Pasteur Institute in 1891

The subject of phagocytes is frequently referred to during the course of this study on the biological theory of in?ammation. I must however warn the reader that he will not find a full exposition of the phagocyte theory in this work. Many points in connection with this question come under the headings of immunity, regeneration and atrophy - points which I hope to treat separately later on.

With the exception of some slight modifications, these lectures are published in the form in which they were delivered at the Pasteur Institute, in April and May of 1891. I must, however, mention that in deal ing with the destruction of the tubercle bacillus in the organism (lecture I have made use of the reactive phenomena presented by the tuberculous cells of Meriones instead of describing those in Spermophilus, as Idid in my course. Rather than repeat here what has already been published in a separate paper, I have preferred to introduce an example which has not yet appeared in print.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
