| Infection with frog virus 3 (FV3), the type species of the genus Ranavirus, results in edema, hemorrhage, and necrosis of lymphoid tissue, hematopoietic tissue, liver, spleen, and renal tubules (3,5); mortality rates in free-ranging amphibians are >90% (6). Histologically, the characteristic finding is the presence of uniform neoplastic lymphoid follicles packed closely together (figure, A), usually effacing the nodal architecture and often extending out into the extranodal fat (figure, B). The disorder prevents patients from generating functional SAP proteins, which can subsequently cause a diverse range of immune system abnormalities and in many cases lead to the development of lymphoid tumors and fatality. |
