ah, Leptomeningeal infiltrate of lymphocytes stained with H&E (a) and immunostained with a T-lymphocyte antibody (CD3; b). No B lymphocytes were detected (CD79a; c). dh, Area adjacent to (c) showing T-lymphocyte (CD3-positive) aggregation around meningeal blood vessels. Meningeal lymphocytes are predominantly CD8-negative (e) and CD4-positive (f). Lymphocytes within the cerebral neocortex are also predominantly CD8-negative (g) and CD4-positive (h). i, Vacuolation and rarefaction of myelinated fibers in the cerebral white matter. j, Infiltration of cerebral white matter by CD68-immunoreactive macrophages.
