Numerous protrusions of lymph were observed in the cytoplasm of these juxta-pharyngeal cells.
Using techniques currently available it might be possible to obtain prevalence data based on culture of gut-associated lymph nodes removed at surgery for other reasons.
Thus, in the three species of amphistome studied, the lymph system appears to function in storage and mobilization of amino acids and possibly lipids.
Nodules can develop, and spread eventually occurs to the lymph nodes, liver and spleen.
Sections of liver, spleen, lymph nodes and brain failed to show any evidence of cells laden with glycogen.
This is confirmed by immunoperoxidase staining of frozen sections of spleen and lymph node.
The remaining specimen, including 12 lymph nodes, showed no evidence of disease.
Proof of the presence of the parasite in the host requires direct detection methods, classically by lymph node or bone marrow microscopical examination and culture.
