Excerpt: ... not occur, which are unconnected with the above-mentioned forms of disease, and which cannot be passed over in silence because they develop rarely or appear, for other reasons, to possess slight significance in practice. On the whole, however, the inflammations of the bile-ducts under discussion do not often come under observation. The symptoms are frequently very slightly characteristic, the disease may, despite its often ominous significance, be readily mistaken and even entirely overlooked, especially when, as usually happens, it occurs in combination with other diseases, the symptoms of which occupy the foreground and engage the entire attention of the physician. Our knowledge of suppurative inflammation of the bile-ducts and the conditions connected with it, must, therefore, be attributed in great part to observations in the dead-house, and even here it is not always possible to explain the mode of development and the intimate relations of the changes which present themselves. Inflammations of the bile-ducts present great differences with reference to their anatomical characters. A simple catarrh, which is chiefly recognizable by the more profuse production of a mucoid secretion, may progress to inflammation with purulent or croupous exudation, even to denudation of the mucous membrane, to ulceration and gangrene of the walls of the bile-ducts, according to the intensity of the causative irritation and the vulnerability of the affected parts. It is impossible to sharply differentiate these forms which are anatomically so different, because they merely vary in degree, and not, so far as we are able to see, in their essential character. We shall only devote separate attention to croup of the bile-ducts. We could more readily endeavor to...
