ABSTRACT

Diagnosis: Rabies Encephalitis

History: 53 yo man s/p liver transplant for hepatitis C. Developed fever, seizures, bradycardia and progressed to coma.

Dxhow: Autopsy and Histology

No MeSH data available.

Pathology of rabies infection is typically defined by encephalitis and myelitis. Perivascular infiltration with lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and plasma cells can occur throughout the entire CNS. Rabies infection frequently causes cytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusion bodies (Negri bodies) in neuronal cells, especially pyramidal cells of the hippocampus and Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. These inclusions have been identified as areas of active viral replication by the identification of rabies viral antigen.
