About this work

Description

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection This is a gross micrograph of a coronal slice of brain from a patient with HIV disease who has CMV ventriculitis (ependymitis). It shows dilated lateral ventricles adjacent to the basal ganglia. The lining of the ventricles (the ependyma) is reddened and inflamed. This is a typical gross appearance of CMV ependymitis. See image W0047333 for the histopathology.
