This article collects all things '''virus'''.  The more general topic of infective things is dealt with in [[microorganisms]].
 
Many virus afflict humans.  Only a few of them can be diagnosed histologically.
 
==Viral inclusions - types==
Cowdry types:<ref>URL: [http://www.pathconsultddx.com/pathCon/largeImage?pii=S1559-8675%2806%2970864-6&figureId=fig3&ecomponentId=mmc3 http://www.pathconsultddx.com/pathCon/largeImage?pii=S1559-8675%2806%2970864-6&figureId=fig3&ecomponentId=mmc3]. Accessed: 12 January 2010.</ref>

**Round eosinophilic material surrounded by a clear halo.

=Viruses=
==Herpes simplex virus==
*Abbreviated ''HSV''.
 
===General===
Several subtypes:
*Canker sores - usually HSV-1.
*Genital herpes - usually HSV-2.
 
===Histology/cytology===
Features:<ref>SM. 11 January 2010.</ref>
*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.

*[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Herpes_esophagitis_-_intermed_mag.jpg HSV esophagitis - intermed. mag. (WC)].
 
==Cytomegalovirus==
*Abbreviated ''CMV''
===General===
*The name comes from the microscopic appearance.
 
===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 [[esophagus|esophageal ulcers]], it is therefore useful to biopsy the base of the ulcer - if this is suspected.

===IHC===
*IHC for CMV is available - highlights granular cytoplasmic inclusions; increases [[sensitivity]].
 
==Human papilloma virus==
*Abbreviated ''HPV''.
 
===General===
*Causes a lot of pathology:
**Benign:
***[[Verruca vulgaris]].
***[[Condyloma acuminatum]].
***[[Esophagus#Human_papilloma_virus_esophagitis|HPV esophagitis]].
**Malignant:
***[[Uterine cervix|Cervical cancer]] and precursors ([[LSIL]], [[HSIL]]).
***Anal cancer and precurors ([[Anus#Anal_intraepithelial_neoplasia|AIN]])
***Squamous cell carcinoma in the [[Head & neck pathology|head & neck]].
 
Oncocytic types:

*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.

===IHC===
*p16 +ve -- stains most cells infected by HPV.
 
==Adenovirus==
===General===
*Common in kids.
**May be seen in the context of [[adenovirus appendicitis|(adenovirus) appendicitis]].
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*"Smudge" cells<ref>URL: [http://www.pathguy.com/lectures/infect.htm http://www.pathguy.com/lectures/infect.htm]. Accessed on: 8 July 2010.</ref> - black/blue blob ~ 10-15 micrometers. (???)
 
Notes:
*May be morphologically similar to ''[[CMV]]'', ''[[HSV]]'', ''[[VZV]]'' inclusions.

==Parvovirus==
*[[AKA]] ''Parvovirus B19''.
===General===
*Most significant in pregnant women.
**Parvovirus attacks the nucleated RBCs of the fetus - causes an ''aplastic [[anemia]]''.
 
Trivia:
*First described in 1975.<ref name=pmid46024>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Cossart | first1 = YE. | last2 = Field | first2 = AM. | last3 = Cant | first3 = B. | last4 = Widdows | first4 = D. | title = Parvovirus-like particles in human sera. | journal = Lancet | volume = 1 | issue = 7898 | pages = 72-3 | month = Jan | year = 1975 | doi =  | PMID = 46024 }}</ref>
**The "B19" part comes from the label for the specimen.<ref name="pmid17304869">{{cite journal |author=Servey JT, Reamy BV, Hodge J |title=Clinical presentations of parvovirus B19 infection |journal=Am Fam Physician |volume=75 |issue=3 |pages=373–6 |year=2007 |month=February |pmid=17304869 |doi= |url=http://www.aafp.org/afp/991001ap/1455.html}}</ref>
