Summary

The method of vital staining was tested in three cases of experimentally induced tuberculosis of varying severity. It was demonstrated that this method was useful in evaluation of the degree of injury of the tissue elements of the cerebral cortex during the development of this disease. There are no morphological changes which can be detected in the internal organs of animals during the first hours after infection by tuberculosis. However, at that time, substantial changes have already taken place in the cerebral cortex, which are manifested in the change of the sorptive properties of the cells. The degree of change of the sorptive properties corresponds to the severity of the pathological process. The wave-like biphasic character of the changes in the sorptive properties of the cerebral cortical tissue was noted during development of experimentally induced tuberculosis.
