[Ultrastructural changes in the central nervous system of monkeys in poliomyelitis].
The ultrastructure of cells of the central nervous system of Rhesus monkeys in experimental poliomyelitis caused by virus of poliomyelitis Type 3 was studied. It was found out that the virus of poliomyelitis was localized in nerve cells, astocytes, oligodendrocytes, the endothelium of capillaries and macrophages. This justifies the conclusion that pathological changes in the cells referred to the above result from reproduction of the virus therein. Ultrastructural changes in infected cells are divided into three stages: the first stage corresponded to eclipse-phase of infection; the second -- to the period of reproduction of the virus and composition of viral particles; and the third -- to the period following the escape of the virus from the cell. A definite combination of nonspecific changes in organoids of various cells with specific viral inclusions makes the ultrastructural picture of cells in poliomyelitis sufficiently characteristic for differential diagnosis. Pathogenesis of the developing lesions is discussed.
