Pathological Anatomy.—The tracheal and bronchial mucous mem-brane is intensely congested, and the lumen of the smaller bronchi filledwith thick muco-pus, which adheres to the surfaces and is as tenacious asa pseudo-membrane. The lung at the seat of infection shows dark brownor brownish-red, infiltrated areas, sometimes of a bluish-red color. Thesurface of the pleura contains large or small haemorrhagic areas. Theyresemble a sort of hepatization, brownish, grayish, or yellowish-gray incolor, and in some areas have purulent infiltrations. Sometimes the inter-stitial tissue is associated in this condition with a tendency toward cica-tricial formation. Sometimes the alveoli have an emphysematous disten-tion.
