classical HSV-associated changes (inclusions), BUT:
THERE
IS NOTED:
- perivascular
cuffing by a mononuclear cell infiltrate
- dead/dying
neurons
- areas
consistent with glial nodules
- neuronophagia
(clusters of cells around dying neurons)
Interpretation:
- There
are some features of HSV infection; need to rule out lymphoma
