Alterations of the Nasal Mucosa of Cadavers of Epidemic Encephalitis,

Abstract

In the summer of 1938 and 1939 an examination was made of the nasal mucosa of the respiratory and vestibular region in the course of 7 autopsies (3 adults and 4 infants who had been sick for 3-15 days) of cases of Japanese epidemic encephalitis that had broken out in Tokyo. In the respiratory region the main alteration which was encountered was gelatinization of the epithelia and nasal glands and cellular infiltration.
