must remember that radiographic studies have proved that many such cases exist in the complete absence of physical signs in the chest so that the really important point hinges not so much on the prognosis of the patient, who will almost surely recover completely, but on the interpretation that is likely to be made of the shadows seen in the X ray films of his lungs. ·We know that an early exudative tuberculous process in the lung may present the radiographic picture of circumscribed consolidation, and Ramsay and Scadding point out that there is a considerable literature extant dealing with the differential diagnosis of this lesion.
