A productive granular growth, produced by such organisms as Bacillus tuberculosis, Treponema pallida of syphilis, Bacillus lepra, Bacillus mallei of glanders, and the Actinomyces bovis of actinomycosis. They are usually formed of lymphoid and epitheloid cells, and often contain giant cells. The class is called the infectious granulomata.
