Perivascular eosinophilic droplets in swine brain induced by Escherichia coli toxin.
Pigs inoculated intravenously with the culture supernatant and extract of Escherichia coli were investigated histologically. Perivascular eosinophilic droplets and slight vascular degeneration were observed in the medulla oblongata, mid-brain and pons. These droplets were negative for periodic acid-Schiff staining.
