emphysematous

The technical term, Dr. Goldberg said, is emphysematous gastroenteritis, and “that’s what the chimps had.”

Decomposition sets in early, and the resulting gases cause a puffy, emphysematous condition of the connective tissue.

The lungs, which are rather congested than inflamed, are emphysematous, the air having entered and distended the cellular tissue which unites the lobes together.

In severe forms of the disease the patient comes to acquire a peculiar puffy or bloated appearance, and the configuration of the chest is altered, assuming the character known as the barrel-shaped or emphysematous chest.

The upper lobe partially excavated and ragged; the inferior lobe infiltrated and emphysematous.
