Protein edema in the alveolar space with fibrin exudation was observed inside, and some alveoli were filled with mononuclear cells, alveolar macrophages, exfoliated epithelial cells and cell debris (G); the alveolar septum was widened, the capillaries in the septum were highly dilated and congested, with infiltration of inflammatory cells (H); intrapulmonary bronchitis and bronchiolitis, diffuse or focal infiltration of inflammatory cells in the wall and surrounding tissues (I, J); compensatory emphysema phenomenon of ruptured alveolar wall and fusion of pulmonary alveoli (K); the lymph nodes near the hilar bronchus indicated a reactive hyperplasia, germinal center enlargement, paracortical zone atrophy, and lymphocyte depletion (L) (black arrow). Lung tissues of EV71 infected patients with severe HFMD showed interstitial pneumonia and positive viral antigens in the pulmonary epithelial cells and macrophages. ./cache/cord-003246-3ajfb18m.txt ./txt/cord-003246-3ajfb18m.txt
