Abstract
Morphologic changes due to disintegration of the stroma of human erythrocytes found in skin tissue fluid from pinta lesions were observed with the electron microscope. The tissue fluid was concentrated by low speed centrifugation first in saline soln., then in distilled water. Although no basic differences from light microscope images were detected, there was a definite increase in definition of details, and the distr. of Hb during stromatolysis was evidenced, especially in shadow-cast specimens.
