A, Photograph of expectorated bronchial cast from right lower lobe. B, Representative photomicrograph of bronchial cast. Multiple microscopic sections of the cast were similar in appearance. It was composed of strands of fibrin that were covered with mucus and contained moderate numbers of lymphocytes and foamy histiocytes. Special stains for fungi were negative. (Hematoxylin-eosin; x250.) Although no eosinophils were identified on routine light microscopy, a special stain for eosinophilic granule major basic protein demonstrated occasional foci of eosinophils and extracellular deposition of major basic protein.11
