Affections of the urinary bladder as complications of typhoid fever are not particularly uncommon, and gangrenous lesions in this disease, especially of the appendix and the skin, have been reported from time to time. Gangrene of the bladder, however, so far as we have been able to determine, has been referred to only by Cossy1in 1843, Lemaire2in 1863, Perriol3in 1912, and Legueu4in 1918, the first author reporting eight cases, only three of which can be accepted unqualifiedly, and the others one each. To these we are adding the two cases to be described. Although our investigations would suggest that gangrenous bladder lesions in general are not so uncommon as the literature would suggest, yet the fact that only 137 cases,5including our two, have been reported indicates that no special attention has been given to this subject.
