           Cellular changes associated with herpesvirus
           infection, x200. Multinucleated cell with molding
           of nuclei at far left. Ground-glass nuclear change
           is more prominent within cells in the right center
           of the field. Individual cells with high N/C ratios
           may simulate HGSIL, but nuclear contours tend
           to be smooth, and chromatin fine rather than
           coarsely granular.
