Lab 6 Flashcards
Can fibrin thrombi form in septal lymphatics?
yes, because lymphatics drain lymph and clogging them causes net accumulation of more fluid exudate
This is a slide from a bovine lung.What would the cellular exudate be composed of in this lesion?
macrophages, neutrophils, and necrotic alveolar epithelium
This is from a bovine lung. What is the histomorphologic diagnosis for this lesion?
acute fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia
Why would this lesion be acute?
because the exudate is predominantly neutrophils and fibrin
Why would this lesion be diffuse?
because most of the section is affected
Why would this lesion be fibrinopurulent?
because of the nature of the exudate

What are these cells and what does this imply about the duration?
neutrophils which suggests acute inflammation
There are bacterial colonies trapped and proliferating within the capillaries, are they post mortem or are they important in the pathogenesis of the lesions?
they are likely antemortem bacteria because they are surrounded by an inflammatory response
What would you term the process of bacteria entering in the blood?
bacteremia or septicemia
What is the difference between bacteremia and septicemia?
bacteremia can happen without having overt disease, septicemia implies that a severe clinical illness is present

Describe this lesion:
multifocal areas of ecchymosis and ulceration throughout the small intestinal tract, erythemic large colon, mildly distended cecum
What are these?
multifocal areas of red to purple discoloration (hemorrhage) and ulceration of the intestinal mucosa
What are these?
purulent exudate; multifocal areas of the mucosa are covered by a tan to yellow, viscous fluid
What is the medical term used to describe inflammation in the small intestines?
enteritis
Name this lesion.
acute, multifocal, severe, ulcerative, necropurulent enteritis
What is an exudate?
fluid, cells, or debris from blood vessels that deposited in or on other tissues
What color is exudate commonly?
opaque
What should the specific gravity for exudate be?
greater than 1.020
How much protein is usually in viscous fluids that contain exudate?
more than 3 grams of protein
How many leukocytes are usually in viscous fluids that contain exudate?
1500 leukocytes
These intestinal lesions are due to an acute process. What sort of cells and protein would you expect to find in the tissue and in the exudate?
plasma, complement, fibrinogen, and neutrophils
What is happening to these gyri?
edema; they are flattened and wider than normal
What is happening here?
vascular engorgement and hyperemia
What is this?
tan to yellow, viscous fluid within the meninges
What is this?
tan to yellow, stringy friable material - fibrin
What are the medical terms used to describe inflammation of the meninges and ventricles of the brain?
meningitis and ventriculitis
What is the morphological diagnosis for the lesion to the brain?
acute, diffuse, severe cerebral and cerebellar edema with fibrinous ventriculatis
What is the morphological diagnosis for the lesion to the meninges?
acute, diffuse, severe fibrinopurulent meningitis
Why are the sulci not clearly seen in this case?
because there is fibrinous exudate within the meninges
What is the exudate in this case composed of?
fluid, fibrin, other plasma proteins, and some neutrophils
The meninges are diffuse bright red with prominent blood vessels. Why do think the meningeal vessels are engorged with blood?
active hyperemia - bacteria ilicit an inflammatory response which lead to vasodilation to increase blood flow to the blood vessels
What is the pathogenesis for this lesion?
decreased immunity and increased susceptibility leads to exposure to bacteria which leads to septicemia which leads to hematogenous spread to the meninges which leads to colonization which leads to initiation of the acute inflammatory response which leads to meningitis
What is this?
edema
What are 4 causes of a lesion like this?
increased microvascular permeability, increased intravascular hydrostatic pressure, decreased intravascular osmotic pressure, decreased lymphatic drainage
Explain the lesion for this urethra:
locally extensive area of the urethral lumen contains a tan, friable material admixed with purulent exudate, black to purple discoloration and multifocal ulceration in the urethral mucosa, edema, hemorrhage and hyperemia in the soft tissue
Explain the lesion for this urinary bladder:
multifocal hemorrhages on the mucosal surface of the bladder that extends to the serousal surface, multifocal edematous and friable bladder wall, calculi in the bladder
What is this?
hemorrhage of the urethral mucosa
What is this?
viscous exudate
What is this?
hemorrhage with some tan to yellow exudate
What term is used to describe inflammation of the bladder?

What is the pleural surface of this lung covered in?
fibrin
What is the morphologic diagnosis for this lung?

How did this material (fibrin) get to the lung?
endothelial damage allows for large molecular weight plasma protein to leak into the tissues, fibrinogen leaks out of the capillaries and post capillary venules during the fluidic phase of accute inflammation and it polymerizes to fibrin
