Light microscopy and immunohistochemistry images. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin staining, magnification ×20: Renal allograft biopsy shows interstitial lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with few neutrophils surrounding infected tubules. These are infiltrated by lymphocytes (black arrows), and infected tubular epithelial cells are characterized by a homogenous intranuclear inclusion of BKPyV (red arrows). (B) Immunohistochemistry, magnification ×15: This BKPyV infection was confirmed by SV40 immunohistochemistry which reveal by nuclear labeling the infected cells close to other healthy ones. (C) Immunohistochemistry, magnification ×33: Detection of a simultaneous infection by cytomegalovirus, proven by immunohistochemistry revealing rare nuclear positivity in glomerular cell.
