. Fig. 176.—Appearance of the lesions in a case of fatal pericarditis. P, inflamed peri- cardium, distended with exudate and adherent to the neighbouring pulmonary lobes ; ], posterior lobe ; 2, cardiac lobe ; 3, anterior lobe; Fp, pleural false membranes. they may be red, greyish, soft or hard, and when the lesion is of old standing they may have been converted into a sclerotic tissue. The pericardium appears distended with a considerable quantity of liquid of a special character—sometimes sero-sanguinolent, sometimes almost or entirely purulent; sometimes yellowish, or greenish-grey; sometimes frothy, inodorous, or very foetid. These characters depend on the nature and number of the germs which have invaded the pericardial cavity. They also vary with the gravity and number of the hemorrhages produced by the action of the foreign body on the myocardium.
