Under a magnification of 100X, this hematoxylin-eosin-stained (H&E) photomicrograph depicts the cytoarchitectural changes found in a liver tissue specimen extracted from a malnourished individual who had developed Kwashiorkor. This particular slide reveals “microvacuolar steatosis, i.e., fatty degeneration, in the periportal region”.
