EBOV infection of the salivary glands and thyroid. (a) Necrotizing adenitis of parotid salivary gland. Focal acinar cell necrosis with rare large eosinophilic to amphiphilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies (arrows, H&E). (b) Infiltrating macrophages, interacinar fibroblasts, and viable and degenerate acinar cells (EBOV VP40 IHC: DAB chromogen and hematoxylin). (c) Infected acinar cells, macrophages and fibroblasts (EBOV NP ISH: fast red chromogen and hematoxylin). (d) Degeneration, sloughing, and necrosis of follicular epithelium, with rare large eosinophilic to amphiphilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies (arrows) in follicular cells and infiltrating macrophages (H&E). (e) Infected follicular cells, intra-follicular and interstitial macrophages, and interstitial stromal cells (EBOV VP40 IHC: DAB chromogen and hematoxylin). (f) Infected follicular epithelium and interstitial cells (EBOV NP ISH: fast red chromogen and hematoxylin).
