Inflammatory cell infiltrates in the lung are expressed as the mean number of cells per field of view at original magnification ×250, resulting from the analysis of ≥4 fields of view from each hematoxylin and eosin–stained whole-lung section (see also de Franceschi et al28,29 ). Edema: 0, no edema. Mucus: 0, no mucus; +, mucus filling <25% of the area of the bronchus circumference at original magnification ×400. Thrombi: 0, no thrombi; +, presence of thrombus per field at original magnification ×250. Quantification of inflammatory cell infiltration in the renal cortex of kidney was determined in hematoxylin and eosin–stained sections using a scale (0-4) based on the percentage of each field occupied by cell infiltrates: 0 (no sign of infiltration), 1 (1-10%), 2 (11-25%), 3 (26-50%), and 4 (>50%). The mean of 15 randomly selected fields was analyzed at original magnification ×400 (see also Sabaa et al22  and Guo et al46 ). Sclerotic glomerula: 0, no sclerotic glomerula; +, >50% sclerotic glomerula. Necrosis: 0, no necrosis; +, presence of necrosis.
