Photomicrographs of liver, spleen, and lung sections from influenza virus A (H5N1)–infected mice at endpoint. Necrotic foci (arrows) scattered throughout the liver (A) (original magnification ×200) and spleen (B) (original magnification ×100) from subtype H5N1–infected mice (hematoxylin and eosin stain); these foci are absent from subtype H1N1–infected mouse livers. C) Necrotic foci in the liver stain periodic acid–Schiff (PAS)–positive (arrow), which suggests focal accumulation of glycogen (ori

C) Necrotic foci in the liver stain periodic acid–Schiff (PAS)–positive (arrow), which suggests focal accumulation of glycogen (original magnification ×400). D) Numerous alveolar walls lined with PAS-stained hyaline membranes (arrows), suggestive of necrosis and desquamation of pneumocytes (original magnification ×1,000).
