This is a microglial nodule from a patient with serological evidence of Eastern equine encephalitis infection. The cells in the nodule stained strongly for HAM56. Microglial nodules are not specific for EEE, and may, for example, be seen in other viral encephalitides like HSV and rabies. Unlike HSV and rabies, no viral cytoplasmic or nuclear inclusions are seen in EEE. |
