They may remainlatent for some time, or give rise to indefinite symptoms, such asanorexia, dyspepsia, gastroenteritis, and emaciation, or symptomsof pulmonary phthisis. The outbreak is often determined by. Fig. 96.—Miliary Tuberculosis (skiagram). (Sheffield.) some intercurrent disease or traumatism, but once established itusually runs a very violent course. The temperature rises, is intermittent, hectic in character, Hectic feveronly rarely drops to normal, and may be associated with chillsand sweats. Tn the beginning, especially in the absence of markedpulmonary symptoms, and in the presence of large liver or spleenor both, the disease greatly resembles malarial fever or examination, however, reveals the absence of the malarialor typhoidal germs in the blood. Where signs of pulmonary dis-ease predominate, it is readily con founded with lobar or lobularpneumonia. In such cases the diagnosis is extremely difficultand often can be decided only by microscopic examination of the Resemblanceto malaria,typhoid andpneumonia. 358 COMMUNICABLE DISE
