Publisher's 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.
