What Histological Changes are Associated with Microbial Infections?
Microbial infections can induce a range of histological changes in tissues. These may include: - Inflammation: Presence of inflammatory cells like neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages. - Necrosis: Tissue death caused by toxins or immune responses. - Granulomas: Aggregates of macrophages often seen in chronic infections like tuberculosis. - Cytopathic Effects: Structural changes in host cells caused by viral infections.
