Fig. 1 Pathologic findings of the lymph node and pleura. (A) An enlarged lymph node shows near-total replacement of the cortex by marked accumulation of macrophages (H&E staining, ×12.5). (B) The cytoplasm of macrophages contains variable numbers of intracellular organisms (H&E staining, ×400). (C) These intracellular organisms have a faint round nucleus and large mucoid capsule (GMS staining, ×400). (D) The biopsied pleura shows many infiltrated macrophages with intracellular organisms (H&E staining, ×400).H&E = hematoxylin and eosin, GMS = Grocott's methenamine silver.
