[Histonet] Brucellosis

[Richard Cartun]

I have a consult (transplant kidney biopsy) that I believe is infected with Brucella.  My IHC test is positive, but I have never seen a human case before.  Can someone familiar with this disease forward me a photo or a good reference that shows the typical morphology of this organism in human tissue?  Thank you.
