furuncles

• “This consists in the systematic application of cupping-glasses and rubber strips to augment the veinous stasis round abcesses, furuncles and similar afflictions of many kinds.”

  Ilya Mechnikov - Nobel Lecture

• “Constantly impressed with the thought of the immense part played by microscopic organisms in Nature, I queried whether the pus in the furuncles might not contain one of these organisms whose presence, development, and chance transportation here and there in the tissues after entrance would produce a local inflammation, and pus formation, and might explain the recurrence of the illness during a longer or shorter time.”

• “The lochia were full of the pyogenic vibrio and of the organism of furuncles, although there was but a small proportion of the latter.”

• “I believe therefore that it would be extremely instructive in furunculosis, to find a patient willing to submit to a number of punctures in different parts of the body away from formed or forming furuncles, and thus secure many cultures, simultaneous of otherwise, of the blood of the general circulation.”

• “At the time of making these observations I spoke of them to Dr. Maurice Reynaud, who was good enough to send me a patient who had had furuncles for more than three months.”

• “I am convinced that among them would be found growths of the micro-organism of furuncles.”

• “The first culture, of March thirteenth, contained only the organism of furuncles; the next one, that of the fifteenth, contained an organism resembling that of furunculosis, but which always differed enough to make it easy usually to distinguish it.”

• “The Academy may remember that I stated before it, and the fact has never been denied, that ammoniacal urine is always produced by a microscopic organism, entirely similar in many respects to the organism of furuncles.”

  The Harvard Classics Volume 38 Scientific Papers (Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology)

• “Thus I saw, that it corresponded exactly with the organism of furuncles.”
