Description

Cerebral malaria: histopathology This is a high power view of a section of cerebellum from the brain of a child with cerebral malaria. It shows an incoming capillary with parasitized red blood cells and haemozoin. The vessel has ruptured (centre of field) and released predominantly non-parasitized red blood cells into the surrounding brain substance tissue. H&E stain. Image W0043250 shows another specimen from the same patient.
