Inflammatory infiltration is mild, being inconsistent with fulminant clinical signs and symptoms. Negri bodies tend to be distributed in areas with minimal inflammation (HE, low power).
Negri bodies, round eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions measuring 1-7 μm, are pathognomonic of rabies (HE, high power). Hippocampal neurons are the preferential site of Negri body formation.
