Albany medical annals . the paralyzed muscles totheir normal functioning, without muscular atrophy, and onlyrarely with altered electrical reactions, which is the rule ratherthan the exception, in the complex of Landry, is in sharp con-trast to the results which occur in the cases of acute, severe,widespread motor paralysis of poliomyelitis. Pathologically, while the changes are quite similar both inlocation and type, they are very much less intense in Landrysparalysis than in poliomyelitis, and the small, mono-nuclear,round-cell, perivascular infiltration, which is so characteristic ofthe latter disease, is missed in many of the true cases of Lan-drys disease. Of great interest in this relation is the recentcultivation by Flexner and Noguchi, by a specially devisedmethod, from the tissues of the central nervous system of humanbeings and monkeys, subject to epidemic poliomyelitis, of a To Illustrate Dr. Qordiniers Study of a Case of the Adult Type of Poliomyelitis Albany Medical Annals, , 191 I.
