Piirideiit hifectioii of the Navel 1015 Passing through the puhnouary capillaries, and reaching thesystemic circulation, the infection may become arrested at anypoint, and induce an acute septic or pyaemic inflammation. Theinfection is especially liable to become lodged in the capillariesin or about the synovial membranes of the articulations or ofthe sheaths of tendons, and to induce therein either an acuteserous or purulent Fig, 146. .Abscesses of Umbilic Vein and Arteries in Omphalo-PHi,EBiTis OF Foal.

No tissue or organ of the body is immune against the ravagesof the disease. The internal organs are by no means free fromthe dangers of pysemic infection. Abscesses of the liver, kid-neys and spleen are frequently found. We have frequently observed within the umbilicveins and arteries, as shown in Fig. 146, especially when thesevessels have been cau
