Emphysema1, 2, 3and pulmonary fibrosis4, 5, 6have, perhaps, been mentioned most frequently in this connection, but other types of lung disease which cause extensive obliteration or narrowing of the smaller pulmonary blood vessels may produce it.7Among these are primary endarteritis obliterans of the pulmonary arteries8, 9; obliterative endarteritis due to metastatic carcinoma10, 11andSchistosomiasis mansoni12; chronic pulmonary embolism13, 14; and the pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema produced by spinal and thoracic...References1.
