Figure 1: Histological view of repeated liver biopsies (H & E stain) at baseline (Panel 1), on day 22 (Panel 2), and day 36 (Panel 3) of hospitalization. At baseline, typical lesions of steatohepatitis are present (Panel 1a, original magnification x 200: PN: polynuclear neutrophils; S: steatosis; B: hepatocyte ballooning) and characteristic granulomas (panel 1b, original magnification x 400: RG: fibrin-ring granuloma) (Panel 1c: Landrum’s stain for fibrin coloration, original magnification x 200). The second liver biopsy (Panel 2) showed a reduction of steatosis and less RG (original magnification x 200). On the third liver biopsy, a mild residual PN inflammation persists (open arrows) and S is minimal (Panel 3a). A remnant of RG is visible (H&E, original magnification x 400).
