THERE are many ways in which infection may give rise to circulatory disturbances, and it is the purpose of the present report to discuss the pathologic physiology of these disorders.A large number of infectious diseases, some still of doubtful etiology, give rise to vascular lesions. Included in this group are rheumatic fever, syphilis, Fiedler's myocarditis, acute disseminated lupus erythematosus, periarteritis nodosa, mycotic aneurysms, acute and subacute bacterial endocarditis, typhus fever and meningococcemia. Similarly, the various urticarias, purpuras and macular or papular rashes also represent the effects of vascular lesions. It is not our purpose to describe the pathologic anatomy . . .
