Duodenal biopsy in HIV+ (AIDS), CD4 = 2/µL

Clinical: Episodes of melena, EGD with inflamed erythematous D2 mucosa.

🔬 Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex infection: Intestinal mucosa with lamina propria expanded by foamy histiocytes packed with organisms, minimal inflammation. AFB+ / PAS+.

Classic opportunistic infection in advanced immunosuppression.

Duodenal biopsy in an HIV+ pt with chronic diarrhea:

🔬 Cryptococcus – variably sized (3.5 - 8 μm) encapsulated yeasts with narrow based budding highlighted by GMS & Mucicarmine special stains.

🧫 Cryptosporidium – tiny 2–5µm organisms attached to apical enterocyte surface.

A striking example of dual opportunistic infections in advanced immunosuppression.

Placenta with toxoplasma placentitis

🧫 Tissue cysts with bradyzoites ± tachyzoites may be found in Wharton’s jelly, amniotic epithelium, and villi.

🔬 Characteristic: diffuse lymphoplasmacytic or granulomatous villitis.

⚠️Often accompanied by hydrops fetalis & placentalis.
