Mucosal necrosis is observed between the duodenum and jejunum (arrows). B, Intestinal necrosis is observed between the duodenum and jejunum. Arrows indicate pseudomembrane formation. C, Microscopic view. Hematoxylin–eosin staining (×40). D, High‐power view (×100) of (C). Hematoxylin–eosin staining reveals mucosal hemorrhagic necrosis and submucosal edema in conjunction with pseudomembranous formation. E, Maximum‐power view (×1,000) of (C). Arrows indicate gram‐negative bacilli that correspond to K. oxytoca.
