Rabies Virus, Negri Bodies, LM
Photomicrograph of H&E stained brain tissue from a rabies encephalitis patient. Histopathological brain tissue from a rabies patient displaying the pathognomonic finding of Negri Bodies within the neuronal cytoplasm, and stained using H&E stain. The virus infects the central nervous system, causing encephalopathy and ultimately death. Rabies virus belongs to the order Mononegavirales, viruses with a nonsegmented, negative-sense single-stranded RNA ((-) ssRNA) genomes. Early symptoms of rabies in humans are nonspecific, consisting of fever, headache, and general malaise. As the disease progresses, neurological symptoms appear and may include insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallucinations, agitation, hyper-salivation, difficulty swallowing, and hydrophobia (fear of water). Death usually occurs within days of the onset of symptoms.
