A rarer and more in-teresting process is the formation of multinucleated and giant-cells, within the alveoli, some of which show the radial arrange-ment of nuclei, so common in tuberculosis. The bronchi show exquisite inflammation. The exudate is,for the most part, composed of polymorpho-nuclear leucocytes,and is acute.
