Vincents Angina (Ulceromembranous Angina).—Inthis condition smears taken from the throat, as well as the freesaliva, will be found to contain many organisms of two charac-teristic types, the spirilla and the long, fusiform bacilli. Usuallyboth of these types are found together, but occasionally thespirilla are absent. The spirilla usually measure from 36 to 40.

These organisms may be readily stainedwith Loffiers methylene-blue, gentian-violet, or dilute carbol-fuchsin; they deodorize with Grams method. (See Fig. 52.) Thrush.—This is a condition most commonly seen in chil-dren, but may occur in adults, especially in those with tuber-culous tendencies. The saliva in this condition is usually acidand somewhat increased in amount. Microscopic examinationsof the membrane show many epithelial cells, leukocytes, andmuch granular detritus, with a network of branching, thread-likeformations, showing distinct segments. This organism is knownas the Oidium albicans. It stains well with the ordinary aqueousmethylene-blue solution. 324 BODY FLUIDS, EXUDATES, TRANSUDATES, SECRETIONS. NASAL SECRETIONS.
