Abstract
Repeated daily intravenous injections of ferric chloride solution are followed by an accumulation of iron in tuberculous areas of lungs. The iron accumulates in the caseous areas of tubercles and is demonstrable by the Prussian blue reaction.
Quantitative determinations corroborate these results and show that the iron content of lung tissue in tuberculous animals injected with ferric chloride exceeds that in normal animals injected with this salt, as well as that in non-injected tuberculous animals.
