What Are the Signs of Infection in Histological Samples?
Histological signs of infection can vary depending on the pathogen. Some common features include:
Inflammation: Presence of inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages. Necrosis: Cell death and tissue destruction. Granulomas: Aggregates of macrophages often associated with chronic infections like tuberculosis. Vascular Changes: Changes in blood vessels such as vasculitis or thrombosis. Inclusion Bodies: Intracellular structures formed by viral replication, such as those seen in cytomegalovirus infection.
