Can Histology Differentiate Between Different Types of Viral Infections?
Yes, histology can often differentiate between different types of viral infections based on the characteristic changes they induce in tissues. For example, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections cause koilocytosis, which is the presence of cells with perinuclear halos. In contrast, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infections can cause atypical lymphocytes and Reed-Sternberg cells in cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
