In severe exposure, necrosis of the respiratory epithelium leads to formation of a pseudomembrane, bronchial plugging, and bronchopneumonia. |
|
The gastric mucosa had distended glands that extended to the pseudomembrane with a volcano-like appearance. |
|
Lesions, in jejunum and ileum, are focal-to-confluent, often with a tightly adhered pseudomembrane, and hemorrhage is uncommon. |
|
Clostridium difficile infection can often be identified endoscopically and histologically by its characteristic pseudomembrane formation. |
|
In extreme cases, an extensive pseudomembrane developed adjacent to the membranous layer of the cuticle. |
|
From the Greek diphthera, diphtheria is named for the tough pseudomembrane that forms in the patient's throat. |
|
Degranulated hemocytes at the surface of the wound formed a pseudomembrane over the exposed connective tissues. |
|
In the second week, this patch developed into a pseudomembrane covering the ulcer. |
|
The ulcer had dense infiltrates with a pseudomembrane. |
|
While in some epidemics infection is mild and rarely fatal, in others it is characterized by wide extension of the pseudomembrane and tends to attack the larynx. |
