This article deals with viruses. The more general topic of infective things is dealt with in microorganisms. Many viruses afflict humans. Only a few of them can be diagnosed histologically.
Viral inclusions - types
Cowdry types:[1]
- Cowdry type A inclusion:[2]
- Round eosinophilic material surrounded by a clear halo.
- Cowdry type B inclusion:[3]
- Neuropathology thingy. (???)

Viruses
Herpes simplex virus
- Abbreviated HSV.
General
Several subtypes:
- Canker sores - usually HSV-1.
- Genital herpes - usually HSV-2.
Histology/cytology
Features:[4]
- Clear "ground glass" nuclei.
- Rim of peripheral chromatin.
- Nuclear inclusions.
- Multinucleation with nuclear molding, i.e. multiple nuclei that touch over a large surface area.
Mnemonic - 3 Ms: Margination, Multinucleation, Molding.
Images:
- Herpes simplex virus - multinucleation (virology.org).
- HSV on a Pap test - showing multinucleation (WC).
- HSV esophagitis - very high mag. (WC).
- HSV esophagitis - intermed. mag. (WC).
Cytomegalovirus
- Abbreviated CMV
General
- The name comes from the microscopic appearance.
- One of the TORCH infections.
- May cause fetal hydrops and intracerebral hemorrhage.[5]
Microscopic
Features:
- Very large nucleus (as the name implies) with clearing.
- Granular cytoplasmic inclusions (red on H&E sections).
Notes:
- Classically in endothelial cells.
- In the context of esophageal ulcers, it is therefore useful to biopsy the base of the ulcer - if this is suspected.
Images:
IHC
- IHC for CMV is available - highlights granular cytoplasmic inclusions; increases sensitivity.
Human papillomavirus
- Abbreviated HPV.
General
- Causes a lot of pathology:
- Benign:
- Malignant:
- Cervical cancer and precursors (LSIL, HSIL).
- Anal cancer and precursors (AIN).[6]
- Vulvar cancer].[6]
- Vaginal cancer.[6]
- Penile cancer.[6]
- Squamous cell carcinoma in the oropharynx, i.e. head & neck.
Oncocytic types:
- HPV 18 - predominantly adenocarcinoma.[9]
- Eighteen = adenocarcinoma.
- HPV 16 - predominantly squamous cell carcinoma.[9]
- Sixteen = squamous.
Recombinant vaccine (Gardasil, Silgard) - covers:[10]
- HPV 6.
- HPV 11.
- HPV 16.
- HPV 18.
Microscopic
Features:
- Koilocytes:
- Perinuclear clearing.
- Nuclear changes.
- Size similar (or larger) to those in the basal layer of the epithelium.
- Nuclear enlargement should be evident on low power, i.e. 25x.
- Central location - nucleus should be smack in the middle of the cell.
Images:
IHC
- p16 +ve -- stains most cells infected by HPV.
Adenovirus
General
- Common in kids.
- May be seen in the context of (adenovirus) appendicitis.
Microscopic
Features:
- "Smudge" cells[11] - black/blue blob ~ 10-15 micrometers. (???)
Notes:
Images:
- Adenovirus (medscape.com).[12]
- Smudge cell (medpedia.com).
- Necrosis in germinal centre - low mag. (flickr.com).
- Viral inclusions - high mag. (flickr.com).
- IHC for adenovirus (flickr.com)
Parvovirus
- AKA Parvovirus B19.
General
- Most significant in pregnant women.
- Parvovirus attacks the nucleated RBCs of the fetus - causes an aplastic anemia.
Trivia:
Microscopic
Features:
- Glassy (red) nuclear inclusions.[15]
- Nuclear enlargement.

Epstein-Barr virus
- Abbreviated EBV
General
- Cases mononucleosis.
- Part of the herpes group of viruses.[18]
Note:
- The virus is Epstein... the tricuspid abnormality is Ebstein.
Associations
Cancer:[19]
- Classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
- Burkitt lymphoma.
- Nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
- B cell lymphomas -- in immunosuppressed individuals.
- Leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma in the context of HIV.[20]
Other:
Microscopic
Features:
- Variable - see specific pathologies in Associations section.
- +/-Atypical lymphocytes.
- +/-Hemophagocytosis (uncommon).
Polyomavirus
May refer to:
- BK virus.
- Merkel cell polyomavirus.
- See: Merkel cell carcinoma.
- JC virus.
Human herpesvirus-8
- Commonly abbreviated HHV-8.
General
Associated with a number of cancers:
- Kaposi sarcoma.
- Primary effusion lymphoma.
- Body cavity lymphoma.
- LBCL arising in HHV-8 associated multicentric Castleman disease.
Other:
- Castleman disease, plasma cell variant.
Microscopic
- No light microscopic changes.
IHC
- Usually HHV-8 +ve.
West nile virus
General
- Uncommon pathologen.
Microscopic
Features:[22]
- Perivascular clusters in grey and white matter:
- Mononuclear infiltrates (lymphocytes, plasma cells).
- Microglial nodules (macrophage clusters).
