Abstract

The nonneoplastic infective lesions are infrequently studied and under-documented in histopathology literature despite their common occurrence in developing countries like India. So, we enlisted and analyzed the cases from the last 6 months at our tertiary care hospital to emphasize the clinical and histomorphological clues to infective etiologies. The spectrum of the lesions encountered ranged from bacterial to fungal to viral to even parasitic infestations.
