Abstract
By studying the absorption of Turnbull blue in the corpses of 22 patients dead of tuberculous meningitis and 8 individuals brought shortly after sudden violent deaths and serving as controls, the author has shown that tuberculous meningitis destroys the cells of the epithelial cover of the choroid plexus quite unevenly: some cells necrotize and die while others are still quite viable. The metabolic variation of individual cells has an important influence in determining their susceptibility at the time of being subjected to toxic influences.
