Astrocytic changes were followed up in the brain of infants who had died of herpetic encephalitis. Neuro-morphological examinations revealed astrocytic structural changes directed to reinforcement of the blood-brain barrier, localization of the infection and, possibly, to inactivation of the virus.
12 autopsy cases of congenital immunodeficiency in children who died from various infectious complications at the age of from 2 months to 4 years 1 month are studied. Infection was in all cases combined (viral-bacterial, sometimes even viral-mycoplasmic-bacterial-mycotic). Morphological changes of the thymus, spleen, tonsilla, lymph nodes and lungs are described.

The tumor consists of two types of cells: small with abundant processes cells capable of dividing and probably being neuroblasts, and the big melanocytes forming bands and glandular-like structures. Tumor cells (mainly melanocytes) express pancytokeratins, S-100 protein, neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin and melanin antigen. These data are the additional indication that melanotic neuroectodermal tumor is the derivative of the neural crest.
