Sometimes there is a serous pleurisy, with more or lessfibrinous exudate.
It sometimes contains loose, fibrinous plugs, or it may be greatly distended with air, especially in the still normal portions of the lung.
When this exudate and the necrosed cellular elements come in contact, the latter furnish a fibrin ferment which transforms the exduate into a fibrinous mass.
The air tubes usually contain more or less soft, creamy, or cheesy pus or a turbid fluid quite different from the loose, fibrinous casts of acute pleuropneumonia.
Later, partially organized clots and shreds of a fibrinous nature and of a gelatinous consistence are formed within, and the temperature of the swelling is reduced.

The pseudo-membranous inflammations of the latter tracts are more commonly the result of the catarrhal and diphtheritic varieties than of the fibrinous form.
The thrombi are occasionally observed as firm fibrinous clots, but they may be likewise found in the rapidly fatal cases to have undergone suppurative changes.
When a fibrinous coagulum is carried into the pulmonary artery from the right side of the heart, the indications are a swelling and infiltration of the lungs and pulmonary apoplexy.
Fibrinous thrombi are apt to form upon the roughened surface of the inner coat or upon the surface of the erosions.
They may be the result of fibrinous exudation from inflammation of the inner surface of the heart or the coagulation of a portion of the blood which afterwards contracts adhesion with the heart.
The symptoms differ slightly from those of a frank, fibrinous pneumonia, but not so much by the introduction of new symptoms as by the want of or absence of the distinct evidences of local lesions which are found in the latter disease.
The urgent symptoms should be relieved by rest, stimulants, and the use of agents which will act as solvents to the fibrinous clots.
This may lead to a formation of fibrinous clots in the heart and sudden death early in the disease the second or third day.
Fibrinous coagula and polypous concretions may be found in the cavities of the heart.
Their termination varies from simple resolution to suppuration, and commonly fibrinousexudation difficult to remove.
When effusion is present, it may be serous, as in arthritis deformans, or sero-fibrinous or purulent, as in certain forms of pyogenic and tuberculous arthritis.
On opening the joint, these tubercles may be seen on the surface of the membrane, or the surface may be covered with a layer of fibrinous or caseating tissue.
The opposed surfaces of the tendon and its sheath are covered with fibrinous lymph, so that there is friction when they move on one another.
These fringes may be detached and form loose bodies like those met with in joints; less frequently there are fibrinous bodies of the melon-seed type, sometimes moulded into circular discs like wafers.
A substance that is absorbable, such as catgut or fine silk, is surrounded and permeated by the phagocytes, which soften and disintegrate it, the debris being gradually absorbed in much the same manner as a fibrinous exudate.
The commonest forms of embolus are portions of thrombi or of fibrinous formations on the valves of the heart, the latter being usually infected with micro-organisms.
Samson observed an instance in which a fibrinous effusion formed upon the sciatic nerve, with consequent pain.
The cells of these masses are liable to undergo fibrinous degeneration.
Frequently the presence of fibrinous exudation was a question of doubt.
The subcutaneous connective tissues are soaked with serous exudations, especially in the lower extremities, and in various localities are infiltrated with bloody or fibrinous extravasations.
The history of local fibrinous exudations is not as easily told as that of the purulent.
The rectum has uniformly presented intense congestion, with more or less fibrinous exudation.
In this case there was in the gastro-epiploic artery an ante-mortem fibrinous plug which was continued into the nutrient artery of the ulcerated piece of the stomach.
A fibrinous exudation will soon come over this primary deposit, and undergo a kind of organization, or at least get blood-vessels, which in their turn can furnish the material for a new crop of tubercles.
The vesicles soon undergo rupture, and the resulting ulcers coalesce and become covered with a fibrinous exudation.
A fibrinous material exuded from the blood vessels in inflammation.
Autopsy: The peritoneum showed a congestion and a fibrinous exudation, amount of liquid increased, some part of which was probably chlorlyptus unabsorbed.

The peritoneum showed some fibrinous exudate and mesenteric vessels.
Mannkopf[82] found albuminuria in three cases out of five; in two of the cases there were fibrinous casts; in two the albumen disappeared at the end of the second or third day, but in one it continued for more than twenty days.
There is a form of dry or fibrinous inflammation, without fluid exudate, in which the surface of the membrane loses its polish, becoming dry and red, and adhesions readily form wherever the surfaces are in contact.
Alkaline Diuretics: to prevent formation of fibrinous plugs in the renal tubules.
Mercury: to prevent fibrinous deposits; conjointly with alkalies if of rheumatic origin.
If the joint is opened, fibrinous material, often in the form of melon-seed bodies, may be found lining the synovial membrane.
The changes related to the synovial membrane here attain their maximum development, and may assume the form of hydrops with or without fibrinous bodies, or of overgrowth of the synovial fringes and the formation of pedunculated loose bodies.
Sometimes the centre is caseous, sometimes fibrinousor calcified.
The needle should be pressed through the fibrinous wall of the canal at this point and should be directed towards the pubes.
After the needle passes through the subcutaneous fat it will be felt to strike the firmfibrinous layers of the external wall of the inguinal canal.
It seems to depend somehow on the chemical power just mentioned; for Astringents appear to constringe fibrinousas well as albuminous tissues by a chemical action.
They form peculiar insoluble compounds both with albumen and fibrine, and it is probably by virtue of their action on the latter that they are able to cause the contraction of muscular fibre, which is a fibrinous tissue.
It may act by holding in solution fibrinous and fatty matters, and preventing their abnormal deposit in a crude form in the shape of tubercular matter.
They affect fibrinous tissues in a similar chemical way.
The exudation may be watery (called serous) or dense, the latter either fibrinous or albuminous.
In fibrinous bronchitis there are found, in addition, fibrinous casts, usually of medium size.
Fibrinous casts are characteristic of fibrinous bronchitis, but may also be found in diphtheria of the smaller bronchi.
