Inflammations.—Suppiirative hepatitis occurs w^hen the causes ofinflammation, usually pyococci, make their way into the liver througha wound, from one of the adjacent organs, or by the blood-vessels (venaportae, hepatic artery, or more rarely the vena cava, and, in new-born children, the umbilical vein). A suppurative inflammation ofbranches of the portal vein or bile-ducts may likewise give rise tothe condition. The most frequent form is metastatic inflcimmation (Fig. 127), c.

In thiscase the pyococci settle in the capillaries (1)) or small branches ofthe veins and arterifs, which they fill more or less completely bytheir multiplication. If a small portal or arterial twig is completelystopped by them, the result is, first, an intense hypersemia andstasis in the area supplied by the vessel, and ultimately necrosis CIRRHOSIS 257 succeeded by suppurative inflammation.
