上图示小的不规则的胸膜下肉芽肿累及肺,下图示脾多发性小的黄褐色至黄色的粟粒性肉芽肿。结核分枝杆菌或真菌感染播散导致以上结果。肉芽肿性炎播散前宿主T淋巴细胞能够有效控制感染。
There is a small, irregular subpleural granuloma involving the lung, and the spleen shows multiple small tan to yellow miliary granulomas. This is indicative of a pulmonary mycobacterial or fungal infection that became disseminated, but the host T-cell mediated immune response was sufficient to contain the infection before extensive granulomatous inflammation occurred.
