What Are the Histological Indicators of Infectious Diseases?
Infectious diseases can cause distinct histological changes depending on the pathogen involved. Bacterial infections often lead to neutrophil infiltration and abscess formation, whereas viral infections might cause cytopathic effects, such as multinucleated giant cells. Fungal infections are typically characterized by the presence of fungal hyphae or spores, while parasitic infections might show eosinophil infiltration and parasite structures within tissues.
