Description:
Under a low magnification of 100X, this hematoxylin-eosin-stained (H&E) photomicrograph depicts the cytoarchitectural changes found in a liver tissue specimen extracted from a deceased yellow fever patient. Of importance, are the areas of severe mid-zonal necrosis, and though few in number, the still-recognizable hepatocytes surrounding the portal spaces and the central veins, which were in the process of undergoing lysis. Also important, is the presence of malarial pigment, hemozoin, in the portal space, and an accompanying discrete lymphocytic infiltrate. See PHIL 2176, and 8239, depicting TEMs of the yellow fever virus.
