Fig. 2From: The ameliorating effect of some immune-stimulants on bursal and tracheal lesions of broiler chickens challenged with ND virusa The examined bursae from chickens in group II showing hyperplasia of the follicular epithelium (arrow) associated with mononuclear infiltration in subepithelial connective tissue (star), bar = 50. b The examined bursae in chickens of group III showing enlarged and tightly packed lymphoid follicles with cortical and medullary lymphocytes (star) with enfolded follicular reticuloepithelial layer (arrow), bar = 50. c In the bursae, obtained from group IV showing proliferation of the inter-follicular stroma infiltrated with inflammatory cells (star) and epithelial cysts in the hyperplastic epithelium (notched arrow), bar = 100. d Interstitial haemorrhage (arrow), bar = 50. e The epithelized cysts observed in few follicles (arrow), bar = 100. f Formation of pyogranuloma (notched arrow) with necrotic center (star), bar = 100.
