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.

Several viruses cause cancer and seen directly or indirectly by pathologists frequently.

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

In the context of gynecologic cytopathology see: Gynecologic_cytopathology#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

www:

  • HSV on a Pap test - showing multinucleation. (WC)

  • HSV esophagitis - very high mag. (WC)

  • HSV esophagitis - intermed. mag. (WC)

IHC

  • HSV-1 +ve (cytoplasmic and strong nuclear).
  • HSV-2 +ve.

Images:

Cytomegalovirus

  • Abbreviated CMV.
For pneumonia caused by CMV - see Cytomegalovirus pneumonia.
For colitis caused by CMV - see Cytomegalovirus colitis.

General

Microscopic

Features:

  • Very large nucleus (as the name implies) with clearing.
    • Classically described as owl's eye-like.
  • 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

www:

IHC

  • IHC for CMV is available - highlights granular cytoplasmic inclusions; increases sensitivity.

Human papillomavirus

  • Abbreviated HPV.
Main article: Human papillomavirus

Adenovirus

General

Microscopic

Features:

  • "Smudge" cells[9] - black/blue blob ~ 10-15 micrometers. (???)

Notes:

  • May be morphologically similar to CMV, HSV, VZV inclusions.

Images:

Parvovirus

  • AKA Parvovirus B19.

General

Trivia:

  • First described in 1975.[12]
    • The "B19" part comes from the label for the specimen.[13]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Glassy (red) nuclear inclusions.[14]
  • Nuclear enlargement.

Images

  • Parvovirus - version 1 - very high mag. (WC)

  • Parvovirus - version 2 - very high mag. (WC)

www:

Epstein-Barr virus

Main article: Epstein-Barr virus

Polyomavirus

Main article: Polyomavirus

Human herpesvirus-8

Main article: Human herpesvirus-8

West Nile virus

  • Abbreviated WNV.

General

  • Uncommon pathologen.

Clinical:

  • Fever.
  • Muscle weakness.

Microscopic

Features:[17]

  • Perivascular clusters in grey and white matter:
    • Mononuclear infiltrates (lymphocytes, plasma cells).
    • Microglial nodules (macrophage clusters).

Measles virus

General

  • Causes Measles.
    • Should not be confused with Rubella (AKA German measles).
  • Uncommon due to widespread MMR vaccine.
    • However increasing in the last years most likely due to insufficient vaccination.
  • May develop weeks to years after infection.
  • Illness may be complicated by subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) - a chronic neurodegenerative condition.[18]

Microscopic

Features:

  • +/-Intranuclear Cowdry type A inclusions.
    • Glassy (pink) nucleus.
  • Lymphocytes and macrophages (microglial cells).
    • May be mild in in measles inclusion body encephalitis.
  • Multinucleated cells.
  • Microglial nodules.
  • Demyelination.
  • Gliosis.

Notes:

  • Measles inclusions are intranuclear. RSV inclusions are intracytoplasmic.[citation needed]

Images

  • Measles pneumonia. (WC/CDC)

Rabies virus

General

  • Causes rabies.

Virus affects:[19]

  • Cerebral cortex.
  • Hippocamus pyramidal cells.
  • Purkinje cells.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Negri bodies:
    • Dense-appearing eosinophilic cytoplasmic bodies with a pale halo.

Images

  • Negri bodies. (WC/CDC)

  • Negri bodies - EM. (WC)

  • Negri bodies in cerebellar Purkinje cells. (WC/CDC).
