(A) Sham-inoculated normal rabbit cecum. (B) EHEC O157 strain E5252 (CG-3)-infected rabbit cecum with submucosal edema and acute necrotizing heterophilic vasculitis (arrow). (C) Higher magnification of submucosal vascular lesion in B showing heterophilic vasculitis and perivasculitis with fibrinoid vascular degeneration/necrosis and intimal proliferation. (D) Normal rabbit glomerulus. (E) Glomerulus of a rabbit infected with EHEC O157 strain E5252 demonstrating mild capillary thickening (arrows) and few heterophils in distended capillaries. (F) Glomerulus of a rabbit infected with EHEC O157 strain E5252 showing global edematous swelling, luminal constriction, decreased numbers of erythrocytes (“bloodless glomerulus”), and fragmentation of erythrocytes (arrow). All tissue sections from rabbits on day 7 p.i. Bars = ∼150 μm (A and B) and ∼50 μm (C, D, E, and F).
