NATURE OF DISEASE: THE NINETEENTH CENTURY MEDICAL REVOLUTION by Dr. Ian Carr Professor Emeritus, Faculty of Medicine PATHOLOGY The founder of pathology was Giovanni Batista Morgagni (1682-1771) , professor of medicine and anatomy at Padua for 56 years. He published at the age of 79 the De Sedibus Causis Morborum containing accounts of aneurysm, acute yellow atrophy of the liver, heart block and valvular disease of the heart, pneumonia and the connection between miliary disease and cerebral abscess. He detailed the case histories and pathological appearances of no less than 700 cases. On examining the body before I dissected it, I saw that there was no longer any tumour, inasmuch as it had subsided after the blood, by which it had been raised up externally, and had been discharged. The skin was there broken through, and the parts that lie beneath it with an aperture, which admitted two fingers at once....In both the cavities of the thorax, also, was a great quantity of water, of a yellowish colour. And there was a large aneurism, into which the anterior part of the curvature of the aorta itself being expanded, had partly consumed the upper part of the sternum, the extremities of the clavicles which lie upon it, and the neighbouring ribs, and partly had made them diseased, by bringing on a caries. Morgagni had no microscope. Microscopes were needed for further advance in pathology. Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694) of Bologna saw capillaries in the frog's lung and completed Harvey's discovery of the circulation. He also saw the layers of the skin, white pulp of the spleen and renal glomeruli. Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680) studied the blood of plague patients and saw countless masses of small worms - red blood corpuscle. He described striations in muscle fibres, bacteria and protozoa.

Fungal Abscess Fungal organisms can start as a meningitis or cerebral abscess, or can invade directly from an extracranial compartment. As mentioned above, fungal infections are primarily found in immunocompromised hosts. In immunocompetent patients, fungal abscesses tend to evolve more slowly than bacterial abscesses, but that is not the case in patients with deficient immunity. In general, there are no specific MR imaging features to distinguish the infecting agent. Coccidioidomycosis is endemic to the central valley regions of California and desert areas of the southwestern United States. Infection occurs by inhalation of dust from soil usually heavily infected with arthrospores. Primary coccidioidomycosis, a pulmonary infection, is followed by dissemination in only about 0.2% of immunocompetent patients. Central nervous system involvement most often represents a meningitis, but cerebral abscess and granuloma formation can also occur. Aspergillosis is an aggressive opportunistic fungal infection. The organism gains entrance with inhalation of infected grains or dusts and results in primarily a pulmonary infection. Pathologic changes include a combination of suppuration and granulomas. Dissemination to the CNS may start as a basal meningitis, but the organism readily invades vascular structures and extends into the brain parenchyma. on the Toolbar or under the Go
