These illustrations show a partly confluent character which the eruption frequently presents, even in mild cases, and especially upon the legs. The influence of pressure in developing a more profuse eruption may be noted above the ankles, where shoes were laced, and below the knees, where garters were worn. [F.]
VII.
VARIOLA CONFLUENS. (Seventh Day, Eighth Day.)
Fig. 1 shows umbilicated pustules with an intense œdema of the foot, considerably increasing its size and causing much pain. Fig. 2 shows the epidermis raised in a large, irregular patch by the confluence of pustules. [F.]
VIII.
Variola Pustulosa. (Ninth Day.)
Fig. 1 shows an eruption discrete upon the trunk and even upon the hand, while confluent upon the forearm. [H.] Fig. 2 shows a vaccine pustule coexisting with variolous pustules. The vaccination took place before the disease began, but too late to exert a decided prophylactic effect. [P.] Fig. 3 shows an eruption of large, flaccid pustules with swelling of the foot. [P.] Fig. 4 shows an eruption of discrete, tense, hemispherical pustules. [F.]
IX.
VARIOLA DISCRETA. (Ninth Day.)
A typical case of mild smallpox occurring after vaccination and sometimes called Variola modificata or Varioloid. [P.]
