Figure 3: Histological examination of lung specimens. (a and b) these micrographs illustrate Schistosoma mansoni ovum surrounded by fibrosis, granulomas inflammation and eosinophilic reaction (H and E, ×200). Micrograph (c) illustrates, at high magnification, the multinucleated giant cells are present (red arrow). The egg have a lateral spine within a well-formed granuloma (blue arrow) (H and E, ×400). As seen in micrograph (d) the surrounding parenchyma shows bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia-like reaction with extensive infiltrate with eosinophils, plasma cells, and lymphocytes (H and E, ×400)
