epithelioid histiocytes

43
Q

What are the other two features of granulomas that are commonly seen (other than epithelioid histiocytes)?

A

giant cells and rim of lymphocytes

44
Q

List the top 5 causes of noncaseating granulomas.

45
Q

What do you immediately do when you see a caseating granuloma?

A

AFB for Tb
GMS for fungal infections
(differentiate between the two causes)

46
Q

What is the first step a macrophage does to form a granuloma?

A

present antigen via MHC class II to CD4+ helper cell

47
Q

What does a macrophage do after presenting antigen via MHC Class II to CD4+ helper cell?
