Cowdry bodies
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Cowdry bodies are eosinophilic nuclear inclusions composed of nucleic acid and protein seen in cells infected with Herpes simplex virus, Varicella-zoster virus, and Cytomegalovirus. They are named after Edmund Cowdry.
There are two types of intranuclear Cowdry bodies:
- Type A (as seen in herpes and VZV infections) [1]
- Type B (as seen in infection with poliovirus), though it may seem that this is an antiquated and perhaps illusory type.[2]
Light microscopy is used for detection of cowdry bodies.
