Abstract

Abstract One of the interesting features connected with these cases is that they came to autopsy almost at the same time. Another feature is that one might suspect that the lobar pneumonia in Case I was the result of alcoholism and exposure, rather than of metastatic infection. Perhaps this was really so, but in the second case there was no exposure or alcoholism and the evidences point to metastasis facilitated by trauma as the essential factor. Taken together these cases suggest the definite relation existing between chronic foci of infection and a terminal acute metastatic infection. In neither case was there any history of gall bladder disease.
