TUBERCULOSIS OF THE IRIS.

This has occurred as the result of inoculation of the aqueous humor in

the smaller animals, and as a spontaneous localization of the disease in

cattle (Hess, Röder, Fischöder, etc.). In Hess’s case, the left eye was

shrunken to half the size of the sound right eye, and small caseated

tubercles were present in both iris and choroid. There are usually

coincident tubercles in other organs, and these with the nodular

appearance of the iris swellings, if visible in life, may assist in

diagnosis. (See _Symptomatic Iritis_, and _Tuberculosis_.)
