Fig. 1. Foci of tuberculous lesions in the lung of a rabbit. A. Lung area under tuberculous granulomatous inflammation with distelectasis (micropreparation, stained with hematoxylin and eosin; ×40). B. Acid-resistant mycobacteria in the focus of tuberculous inflammation (micropreparation, staining according to Ziehl–Neelsen; ×1000). C. Lung: a focus of caseous necrosis with leukocyte infiltration and perifocal macrophage-epithelioid granulomas (micropreparation, stained with hematoxylin and eosin; ×100)
