Overview
Lung biopsies are rarely done for psittacosis, however, macroscopically the lungs have lobar and lobular consolidations and hemorrhage. Microscopically, there are signs of exudation consisting of fibrin, neutrophils and red blood cells.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Biopsy
- Microscopically they have patchy consolidation.
- Microscopically exudation and interstitial changes are seen.
- They are best seen with Giemsa stain as inclusions called Leventhal -Colle-Lillie bodies and can be seen within macrophages in BAL fluid.
