Representative images of pathology outside of the brain are shown. The heart (A) was a common site of sequestration and parasites could consistently be found in CM patients (1000X, H&E). The small bowel (B), including jejunum and ileum, as well as the stomach and colon (C) were common sites for sequestration in all patients, regardless of diagnosis, although the most intense sequestration in the gastrointestinal tract was in CM patients (400X, H&E). The subcutaneous adipose layer of the skin (D) was a common site of dense sequestration but, unlike the gastrointestinal tract, was only seen in cases with CM.
