Summary
It was shown in experiments on rabbits that development of a pathological process in the spleen related to impaired circulation in the lienal vein led to the development of annular cirrhosis of the liver. The cirrhotic process was found to be more marked when the splenic injuries occurred in association with previous sensitization of the animals with horse serum and their infection with an attenuated culture ofStreptococcus viridans.
Mechanisms governing these effects require further study.
