About this work

Description

Tuberculoid (TT) leprosy: skin This high power view of a skin section, from an HIV-seropositive adult with TT, shows vasculitis. There is a necrotic arteriole, with a surrounding fibrinoid exudate, in the middle of a granulomatous infiltrate. H&E stain. This vasculitis is not a feature of TT, and is probably related to the HIV infection. See image W0043350 for a low power view of this section.
