What are the Common Histological Changes Observed in Parasitic Infections?
Common histological changes in parasitic infections include:
Inflammation: Acute or chronic inflammation with the presence of eosinophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages. Granulomas: Formation of granulomas, particularly in infections like schistosomiasis. Necrosis: Tissue necrosis due to direct damage by the parasite or secondary to the immune response. Fibrosis: Chronic infections can lead to fibrosis and scarring of tissues.
