Cowpox (smallpox vaccination site)


Operations Pathhub

Case 1196  22.1.15  (H. Diwan) 

Some slides missing.  Those visible showed dermal necrosis with a largely neutrophilic infiltrate.  Epidermal views apparently showed keratinocyte necrosis with Guarneri bodies – these are eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions typical of pox virus infection (including molluscum). 

 

Case 1486  4.3.16  (R.Carr) F 30 (pregnant) chest lesion 

Intense, pan-dermal inflammation with folliculocentricity (characteristic).  Full thickness epidermal necrosis.  Lymphocytes, eosinophils, CD30+ve cells, plasma cells.  Guarneri-body eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions.
