NARRATIVE SUMMARY OF HNDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS HEATED TO DEATH: (Indudo mtevant history, laboratory and anatomlcal ?ndings)
This 18 month?old previously healthy _male developed upper: respiratory tract
infection two weeks ago and subsequently deteriorated. He was treated at home with herbs until
his-?became unresponsive and was transported to the hospital where antimicrobial therapy was
started. He continued to decline and was pronounced doad.
A?topsy shows organizing acute suppurative neutrophilic inflammation of the meninges, purulent
ceiebrospinal fluid, and organizing and fibrinoporulent right pleural empyema. There was no
suspicions trauma and no bone fracture on skeletal radiographs.
Miorobiology culture report shows gram negative bacilli and scant yeast species that are not
candida albicans in the right lung and scant gram negative bacilli in tho cexohrospinal fluid.
wh?te was no bacterial growth in the blood and left lung. Nasopharyngaal wash is positive for
Entoroviruo or Rhinovirus (respiratory virus}. metabolic panel is negative for abnormality.
Given that the microbiological culture did not produce positive culture report, most likely
due to fact that the responsible organism is a finicky bacterium and might have been killed by
the antimicrobial agents used during the treatment, therefore, a non?clinical research
methodology to deteot nictoorganismo DNA coding was utilized and this resulted in
identification of Hemophilus Influenzao in the oozebrospinal fluid. Homophilus Influenzae are

EXAMINATION
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM: The brain weighs 1155 g. The meninges are remarkable for
patchy tan-yellow purulent thick accumulation on the superior and inferior surfaces of the
cerebral hemispheres, anterosuperior surfaces of the cerebellar and vermis, and the
brainstem. The cerebral vasculatures are congested, and the cerebral. hemispheres are
symmetrical and remarkably edematous. The circle of Willis has a normal anatomic arrangement
and is [ice of atherosclerosis. Coronal sections of the ?xed brain are grossly unremarkable.
Lumbar puncture of the spinal canal demonstrates the presence of purulent cerebrospinal ?uid.
NECK: The soft tissues of the neck, including strap muscles and large Vessels, reveal no
abnormalities. The hyoid bone and larynx are intact.
BODY CAVITIES: The right lower lobe pleura are remarkable for ?rm thick yellow-tan
purulent material measuring up to 0.7 cm in thickness. The remaining pleural surface,
pcricardia, and peritoneal surfacos are moist, smooth, glistening and remarkable for pctechiae.
Multiple patchy adhesions are of the right lower lobe to the chest wall. The organs are in their
normal anatomic locations.
CARDIOVASCULAR: The heart" weighs 56 g. The pericardial surface is unremarkable, except
for petechiae. Coronary arteries arise from normal aortic ostia, follow the usual distribution with
a right dominant system, and are free of atherosclerosis. There are no occlusive thrombi. The
atrial and ventricular chambers are not dilated and bear the usual position relationship. The
ventricular walls are not hypertrophied. The endocardium, myocardium, and cardiac valves are

Brain: Left ?ame] and right temporal poles, and pens are with large subarachnoid sheet of
organizing acute suppurative neutrophilic inflammation. No involvement. Right
?'ontal lobe and hippocampus with areas of vascular congestion exhibiting increase leukocytes
and cellular margination. Cerebellum with focal subarachnoid sheet of organizing acute
suppurative neutrophilic in?ammation.
Lungs: Right lung lower lobe visceral pleura with adherent acute ?brinopurulcnt and Organizing
in?ammation. Underlying pulmonary is unremarkable. Adjacent right parietal
pleural consists of multiple small foci of organizing acute suppurative neutrophilic in?ammation.
Left long with vascular congestion and without foci of acute in?ammation. These ?ndings are
consistent with organizing and ?brinopurulent right pleural empyema.
Bronchi: Trachea with unremarkable adjacent thyroid and parathyroid glands, node and
esophagus. . -
Heart: No signi?cant microscopic abnormality.
Kidneys: No signi?cant microscopic abnormality.
Liver: No signi?cant microscopic abnormality.
Pancreas: No signi?cant microscopic abnormality.
Spleen: No signi?cant microscopic abnormality.
Adrenal glands: No signi?cant microscopic abnormality.
