Abstract
DIRECT microscopical observation demonstrates an abundant infiltration of the lymphoid nodules of the appendix by the bacteria present in the lumen1. Large numbers of these, the majority of which are strongly iodophile, are taken up by the exceptionally well-developed macrophage system. Recently this infiltration has been investigated by pure cultural methods.
