CYTOLOGIC SMEARS IN DIAGNOSIS OF HERPES SIMPLEX, HERPES ZOSTER, AND VARICELLA

摘要: Unique changes occur in epithelial cells infected with herpes simplex, zoster, and varicella. Although characteristic cell forms have been observed these diseases for many years, 1 only recently has their diagnostic value emphasized. 2 The microscopic findings varicella are seen ordinary hematoxylin eosin stained sections. Within this group of diseases, the identical but unlike those found other vesicular skin. Current studies demonstrated that one viruses undergo a series morphologic tinctorial transformations. 3 All not simultaneously infected; as result, various stages cellular change accumulation inclusion material any single specimen. In past, small, eosinophilic, intranuclear body Lipschutz received most attention. This probably represents last
