(B): Stain hematoxylin-eosin, human. Meningoencephalitis applies to the inflammation of the meninges and brain parenchyma.
Note dense cellular infiltrate in the arachnoid.
(C, D): Stain hematoylin-eosin, human. Acute viral encephalitis (human) with perivascular cuffs of lymphocytes/plasma cells and spread infiltrates.
In (D) details of the perivascular lymphocytes/plasma cells/macrophages cuff as well as the reactive responses of astrocytes accompanied by cell proliferation (gliosis, blue arrows).
