The microscopic picture indicate a severe interstitial hemorrhage, as well to infiltration of inflammatory cells mainly in the bronchi and interstitial pulmonary tissues revealing to bronchopneumonia; in addition to severe fibrinous exudate that contains a fibrin associated with inflammatory cells infiltration, as well to peri-bronchial inflammatory cells infiltration. The histochemical results showed formation of thick fibrous connective tissue infiltrated in pulmonary interstitial parenchyma and in peri bronchial tissue revealed to diffuse interstitial pulmonary as well to severe interstitial infiltration of mucoid like substances in the pulmonary parenchyma and in the peri-bronchial tissue.
