In October 1909, the speaker met at an autopsy a completely peculiar liver damage in a 21-year-old child, more than 3 years of diarrhea and a significant increase in the spleen (with ascites); the last one was removed to him, and the patient died from septic peritonitis. The liver was smooth, 1270 gm. vѣsom and extremely soft; in the portal vein and she herself turned out to be clogged with blood clots, red in the liver, and whitish in the drink itself. Liver tissue appeared to be red and och. soft, in some places whitish-yellowish color; areas of the last days formed nodes in the forms of cerebral convolutions, enveloping the rays of the Glisson capsule with large veins; the convolutions seemed striated, as if folded from the tubes, vertical to the axis of the crossbeam of the Glisson capsule. Such whitish areas were scattered everywhere and in the red parenchyma, not sharply delimited * from it and without lobular structure.
