Pathology and treatment of diseases of women . ^svftp^g;.. TlG. 165.—Acute Septic Oophoritis and Perioophoritis. Fibrinous purulent exudateupon the ovarian surface, round cell infiltration of the tissues, septic thrombi inthe vessels. (Authors preparation. Zeiss, Obj. AA, Oc. 2.) Upon section a marked hyperemia, and mostly a gelatinous edema, insome cases also multiple small abscesses are seen. Microscopically anenormous round cell infiltration of the entire structure is found (see Fig.165); in places purulent softening exists and the follicles are destroyedin the greatest part. Streptococci in large quantities can usually bedemonstrated in the blood and lymph vessels. If in such puerperal oopho-ritides a corpus luteum is still found in the ovarium, the exciting agentssettle with predilection upon this favorable nutrient basis and a corpusluteum abscess arises (see Fig. 166). However, this is not a frequentoccurrence in acute septic oophoritis, because a recent corpus luteum ismostly no longer found. Acute gonorrheal infection reaches the o
