On microscopic examination the muscle-cells areseparated by multitudes of inflammatory cells, and coloniesof pathogenic micro-organisms can by special methods bedemonstrated among the inflammatory cells. When a large fibroid becomes septic it gives rise to severeconstitutional disturbances (sejDticiemia), like gangrene of otherorgans, and will, unless promptly removed, inevitably destroyHfe (Fig. 102). Small fibroids when septic, though they give rise to serioustrouble, do not so urgently threaten life, but they work greatmischief, for the infection is sure to involve the adjacent UTERINE FIBROIDS 189 endometrium (which sometimes sloughs) and creep in
