In the region of the redspots the tissue contains large num-bers of bacilli and even at this stage proliferation of cells can be demon-strated. According to Miiller, the vesicular eruptions which occur inleprosy, and which were formerly regarded as sequelae of leprous diseaseof the nerves, are caused by the presence of bacilli. The nodules may remain unchanged for months, or increase in sizeand become confluent, so that large protuberances are formed, which,because of the distortion of the face that they occasion, have given riseto the designation fades leontina. Through external influences ulcers may be produced which show notendency to heal. New nodules occasionally appear following erysipelas.
