The term granu-loma applies, therefore, to certain tissue reactions brought aboutby bacteria and protozoa whose manifestations are characteris-tically chronic processes, to wit: Bacillus tuberculosis, Bacilluslepra?, Bacillus mallei, Spirochete pallida, aetinomyces, blas-tomyces, etc. In these reactions, in the form of masses of mono-nuclear wandering cells, surrounded by a wall of fibers and fibro-blasts, there is a breaking down when the infection temporarilyincreases in
