3
Q
A
- bacterial endocarditis
- blue smudges = inflammatory cells or bacteria
- lighter pink = fibrin
- darker pink = collagen
3
Q
A
- cytomegalovirus
- cells become enlarged with huge intranuclear inclusions and cytoplasmic inclusions
4
Q
A
- acute pyelonephritis
- collecting tubule is the long thin thing full of PMNs in the middle/right of the image
- acute inflammatory infiltrate on right side
5
Q
A
normal small bowel
5
Q
A
* measles pneumonia
* interstital process
* airways don’t fill with inflammatory cells
* multinucleated giant cells scattered through the intestitum = typical marker of measles pneumonia
* most cells in the interstitium are lymphocytes, with some macrophages
5
Q
A
- amebic colitis in bowel
- higher magnification of edge of ulcer
- can see individual amebi
- look sort of like macrophages - round cells
6
Q
A
- biopsy of esophageal mucosa
- infected with CMV
enlarged endothelial cells with prominent intranuclear inclusions - stained by specific antibodies for CMV
- owl’s eye formation in center of enlarged cells
7
Q
A
- granuloma in lung due to TB
- can see langerhans giant cell in center of granuloma
8
Q
A
- serosal inflammation (right) and mucosal ulceration (left) in appendicitis
- superficial epithelium being sluffed off - mucosal ulceration
- too many little blue cells in serosa - inflammatory response
9
Q
A
- pneumonia
- alvolar wall thickening
- edema/fluid in alveoli
9
Q
A
- parasitized RBCs in small vessels of brain
- due to malaria
- each little dark dot = RBC full of malaria
10
Q
A
- aspergilis infection in lung vessels
- aspergilis is vasotropic, occludes and destroys walls
11
Q
A
- pneumonia
- cells with irregular nuclei = PMNs (they’re in the white space in the center)
- pink clumps (pale) = fibrin
- dark red = congested vessels
11
Q
A
- pap smear of patient with herpes
- inclusion bodies indicate herpes
11
Q
A
- HSV in lung or trachea
- big red inclusions
12
Q
A
- bowel
- mucosa at edge of ulcer due to amebic colitis
- mucosa being destroyed
12
Q
A
- lung
- respiratory syncytial virus
- cuase formation of syncytia = large groups of cells merged together
13
Q
A
- influenza pneumonia
- lung - large respiratory bronchial
- lymphocytes in the bronchial submucosa
- loss of superficial epithelium and fibrin in lumen
- epithelium sluffing off
- fibrin becuase there’s edema
- fibrin adhering to the airway - not filling up the air spaces
14
Q
A
- lung biopsy
- patient with mononuclear inflammation in interstitium
- too many nuclei in walls
- foamy material in airways = protein, pathogen, no inflammatory cells
15
Q
A
- liver
- most hepatocytes appear normal, but ducts dilated and have brown material in them
- bile has backed up into them
- due to swelling of pancreus => common bile duct gets compressed => back up of bile
16
Q
A
- lung infected with pneumocystis
- interstitial inflammation with foamy exudate in alveoli
17
Q
A
normal skin
17
Q
A
- peribronchial caseation
- caseation is on the left side - bland pink area
- due to granulomas joining, loss of blood supply
- later stage of continued infection of lung
18
Q
A
- lung with abscess/empyema
- area of fibrin with mononuclear cells and micro-colonies
- dark purple dots = chronic inflammatory infiltrate
19
Q
A
- adrenal gland disfunction due DIC
- hemorrhagic adrenal glands
- normal = tan yellow
20
Q
A
- granulation tissue
- skin
- wound healing
- early stage
- loose watery material in background (pinkish material) = ECM = fibrin, fibronectin, collagen
- lots of inflammatory cells
- many tiny, thin-walled blood vessels
- big blue “angry looking” cells = highly activated fibroblasts- producing lots of ECM and laying down collagen
21
Q
A
- bacterial endocarditis
- smudgy groups = bacteria (in top left corner)
- more distinct dark purple = PMNs = below bacteria and in large clear cleft
22
Q
A
- caseation necrosis and fibrosis
- can’t tell that this is lung (but was)
25
Q
A
normal kidney
26
Q
A
- RBCs infected with malaria
- ring form = condensed nuclear mass with ring of blue cytoplasm
27
Q
A
- resolution of pneumonia
- restoration of archetecture by macrophage cleanup or inflammatory infiltrates
- in middle, most of cells are macrophages
- more or less normal archetecture of alveolar space
28
Q
A
- keloid, skin
- dense collagen, lots of fibroblasts
- huge ropey-like fibers of collagen diffusely through the tissue
- will be a firm lesion
30
Q
A
- ulceration and necrosis in appendicitis
- inflammatory infiltrate and destruction of tissue and necrosis
31
Q
A
- consolidated lung (white area)
- lower lobe dense and not spongy
- due to pneumonia
32
Q
A
- lung granuloma
- due to TB
- giant cell with multiple nuclei in center of granuloma
- lymphocytes = dark staining cells around boarder
- patch of epithelioid cells in bottom left of the granuloma (they’re slightly darker pink) - these just look like epithelial cells - were originally of monocyte/macrophage origin
32
Q
A
- zygomycosis
- note wide angle branching
- irregular, broad, nonseptate hyphae
33
Q
A
- early scar on left, late on right
- trichrome stain - blue = fully formed collagen
- collagen in early not fully organized yet so doesn’t stain blue
- so granulation tissue has only a few little wisps of blue
- also lots of dilated capiliareis in granulation tissue
33
Q
A
- bowel with schistosome eggs and chronic inflammation
- villa nicely preserved
- on right, can see white spots = eggs
33
Q
A
- lung with HSV infection
- thickend alveolar walls, but alveolar spaces still open
- lots of lymphocytes in walls - indicates that you’re probably looking at something viral rather than bacterial
34
Q
A
- india ink can’t get into yeast (can’t get through capsule)
- so can use to stain for yeast - yeast will be clear/white while everything around it will stain black
34
Q
A
- gram stain of pseudomembrane
- contains budding yeast and pseudohyphae
- infected with candida albicans
- when this is in the oropharynx = thrush
- oval - budding yeast forms
- tubular structures are pseudohyphae
35
Q
A
normal myocardium
36
Q
A
- heart, 3-4 days after MI
- scaring process
- neutrophils virtually all gone
- macrophage predominant cell type
- some fibroblasts but “not in full swing of producing collagen yet”
- few little capillaries form
37
Q
A
- * measles pneumonia
* interstital process
* airways don’t fill with inflammatory cells
* multinucleated giant cells scattered through the intestitum = typical marker of measles pneumonia
* most cells in the interstitium are lymphocytes, with some macrophages
