This is a low-power photomicrograph of the hippocampus (arrow) from this case.
This is a medium-power photomicrograph of brain tissue exhibiting edema and evidence of shrunken, necrotic neurons (arrows).
This is a higher-power photomicrograph of the shrunken neurons. One neuron appears to have an eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion body (arrow).
This is a high-power photomicrograph of neurons containing variably-sized intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusion bodies (arrows).
This is a high-power photomicrograph of a neuron surrounded by inflammatory cells (lymphocytes and microglia). This neuron has two intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusion bodies (arrows).
