Figure 3

Several damaged crypts (black arrows) are present, scattered throughout the colonic mucosa (hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), original magnification x100). Also present are apoptotic bodies (green arrows) suggestive of cellular injury and turnover (H&E, original magnification x100). There is no evidence of active inflammation or viral cytopathic effect.
