Description

Plate XIII. (a) Radiograph of a man aged 45, suffering from «pulmonary gangrene». The sputum was fetid and amounted to 450-500 ml. daily. He was profoundly toxic and had a high fever. (b) Radiograph of the same case, taken twelve days after the first, and after the sixth instillation of penicillin. (c) Same case, one month after the second radiograph. The patient has been followed up for more than one year and has had no recurrence of symptoms or signs. The remaining cavitation was, in fact, due to an emphysematous bulla which disappeared in the following weeks. Thus, «restitution ad integrum» was obtained within six weeks
