This image was taken 2 days post experimental inoculation with highly pathogenic avian influenza. In HPAI, it is common to find hemorrhagic lesions distributed throughout visceral organs. Here, hemorrhages on found on the surface of the liver. Occasionally, the liver may also have necrotic foci.
Pathologic description:
The liver is mottled by multiple, often coalescing red foci. On the right edge of the image, near the junction of the two portions of the left liver lobe, these red foci appear slightly sunken. The remaining parenchyma is slightly pale and during the examination, the tissue was observed to be friable.
