It is demonstrated that an inflammatory mononuclear cellular infiltration into hypertensively damaged arterioles and small arteries takes place in man, independent of the aetiology of the systemic hypertension. This cellular infiltration was observed both in vessels in which marked degenerative changes were recognized and in vessels in which no degenerative changes could be observed under the light microscope. The mononuclear cellular infiltration is possibily due to a hypersensitivity of the delayed type.
