1754 R. Brookes Gen. Pract. Physic (ed. 2) I. 322 This inflammatory fever is succeeded by a putrid Quotidian, or Tertian intermitting Fever, which is a certain sign of a Purulence of the Tubercles.

1850 Lancet 2 Feb. 141/1 The purulence of the infiltration was verified by the microscope, which showed an infinite number of pus-cells in every drop of the exuding fluid.

1923 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 9 19 When a rubber tube is connected with an intraperitoneal duct and led directly through the abdominal wall, it ordinarily comes away within a few days as the result of an ascending purulence.

1987 Jrnl. Clin. Pathol. 40 830 Sputum purulence decreased in parallel with colonizing microbial load, reflecting a reduction in host inflammatory response to the colonising microbial load.

2005 Clinics in Plastic Surg. 32 117 Conservative therapy to the wounds appears to be the best course in the initial, critical phase, as long as no active local purulence is found.
