Figure 1

Parasitism, histological changes and leukocyte populations in the spleen of a patient with chronic relapsing visceral leishmaniasis (A-I) and of two control patients without the disease (J-Q, control #1; R-Y, control #2): A: large secondary follicles; B: ill-formed granuloma; insert: amastigote-containing macrophages. Leukocyte populations: C, K, S: CD68+ macrophages; D, L, T: CD3+ T lymphocytes; E, M, U: CD4+ T lymphocytes; F, N, V: CD8+ T lymphocytes; G, O, W: CD20+ B lymphocytes; H, P, X: CD79α + B lymphocytes; I, Q, Y: CD138+ plasma cells. (figures A, J and R, bar = 600 μm; figures B-I, K-Q and S-Y, bar = 300 μm).
