| 4) In-growth of respiratory epithelium along this pathway creates a flat pharyngeal bursa in the area or, if the drainage pathway of the bursa becomes obstructed, a Tornwaldt's cyst. Because NGF is released from airway epithelial cells, increases the production and release of substance P and other tachykinins from adult sensory neurons, and induces sensory hyperinnervation in the airways of transgenic mice, it represents an ideal link between virus-infected respiratory epithelium and the dense subepithelial network of unmyelinated sensory fibers. Histopathologic studies showed total destruction of the respiratory epithelium covering the bronchi and bronchioli, together with abundant gram-positive cocci, absence of viable polymorphonuclear cells, and extensive necrosis of the alveolar septa. |
