Pulmonary alveolar septal amyloidosis

Abstract: A case of primary amyloidosis is presented with diffusely involved the alveolar septa. The lung was studied by light microscopy and by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The fine structure of the amyloid material showed it to be porous, homogeneous, and an acellular substance consisting of interwoven bundles of amyloid fibrils. The fine structure of the amyloid material was considered to explain the normal gas diffusion across the alveolar respiratory membrane. The diagnosis of amyloidosis was firs… Show more

“…Even though T. evunsi was apparently the first recognized pathogenic protozoan [3], only cursory studies have been made on the lesions, and especially neural lesions, of surra. A previous report [2] found no studies of neural lesions arising from infection with T. evunsi (synonym T. hippicurn), although the clinical signs suggested that lesions of the central nervous system probably occurred. We have found no reports on this subject.…”

“…In the amyloid-laden liver, chestnut-bur-like bodies measuring up to 20 p in diameter were noted between the hepatic plates (Figs. 6,7). A high magnification of the bodies showed that they were composed of numerous thread-like and stick-like structures measuring from about 50 to 100 mp and 200 to 500 mp in width respectively.…”
